Father daughter talk...

Awww...both those stories warm my heart.  I hope I get to experience to unconditional love of a child one of these days. 

Bless you both for being parents  

...but my 6yr old daughter told me just last night that I was the best daddy in the world. We must've tied for this award.

One day my favorite kid said' Dad sometimes it doesn't really suck to live with you"

Another time I ran into a kid who I had fathered illegitimately, never supported, and had from time to time for laughs called the cops on his crack addicted mother, anyway he says "someday I'll kick your azz for my miserable life and for the way you treated my mother". I was deeply touched and confided to him," yeah well you better figure out how to walk first you crippled twerp" I turned his wheelchair over and walked away.

When my oldest son was about 7 years old he said something to the effect of "When I grow up I want to have a cool job like you."  And then in the next breath he said "I think I'd like to work at the landfill."

 THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! My 6 yr old twins tell me they love me to the moon and back every night. I tell them I love them more. It works

I smile big every time my daughters say "love love" to me out of blue.  That's our term for 'I love you'.  My 9 year old will say it without prompting on regular occasion.  I don't know if this will last into their teens, but those words make parenting so worthwhile.
