Moross
Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 3:07 pm
Well here sit. My one and only daughter is off to her senior prom and for a father, that gives pause for reflection. Starts giving you thoughts that your parenting days are fast coming to a close and the porch rocker is just around the corner. The other day I realized I was heading into old man city when Irealized I was dressed like one. Burmuda shorts, old white v-neck t-shirt that had been worn once too often, loafers and calf high black socks. Good thing I was only going out to cut the grass.
Took my daughter (Danielle's her name) out yesterday and bought her a three pearl and silver necklace and a opal ring to wear for todays prom. Yesterday was Senior skip day so we spent four of five hours roaming the mall looking for the jewlary items. Funny how I didn't mind spending so much time shopping with her. Usually I get bored shopping unless of course it is someplace like Cabalas. Yesterday was different. Perhaps because of all the time I missed out when she was younger and I was working too much. Now I appreciate time spent with her as I know she will soon be out of the house and off to college.
She is also beautiful beyond compare. Now I know some of you will make wiseasse remarks but that will only show your immaturety. When I say beautiful I don't speak from the point of view of where every father thinks their daughter beautiful, but from a critical assessment in comparison to other woman who model or have been portrayed as genuine heart-throbs. Tall (she had to get low heel shoes so she's not too tall for her date) with a slender build and long tawny hair she could grace any fashion runway. Her interest are in the medical field as I keep telling that it is far more important to be known for ones intellect (she is a A student). Well enough sloshing around here. I'd go and buy a pint to drink except I told her that if for any reason she needed a ride home I'd come and get her. So I have to stay sober. Just another reason to be moross this night. Sigh
