Such lovely post!
A BIIIG Yess to that 🙂 IT happens all the time, and I can see it happen, even if my little P is a little less than 2 yrs old 🙂 And my mom tells me I was the same as a kid, so I have no reasons to complain 😀 😀 😀 Good one 🙂 Cute imagery you've created !
Thanks Beloo 🙂
I was more a momma's girl, while my sister cozied up to my dad. And, as time progressed, the bond towards both parents equalised and became filled with love. So, there is always hope 🙂
Aww! Reminds me of the times we simply couldn't wait for dad to come home!
The best moments of our lives 🙂
Ohh reminds me of the days I used to run to my dad….I still do when I'm at home 🙂
Dads are really special, where daughters are concerned 🙂
Heart warming and love post full of happiness:)

It's true! Daughter's love is the purest! Reminds me of the time when my Dad was posted elsewhere and I used to wait for days to meet him.. *nostalgic*
Lovely take on the prompt!
Aww,, thanks 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, Vishal.
And it seems to be true across cultures. What magical bond is this between dads and daughters?
This is sweet, Shailaja! Indeed, he's the lucky one. 🙂
