Here’s what he sent me:
Just was thinking come November 5 I will have to change your name in my E-mail to Becky L. Lamkin or BLL. That will be strange and my first feeling is sadness because you will belong to some one else and things will never be quite the same. On the other hand I feel good because I know some day I will be gone but I will know you will be taken care of and you will be ok.
SNIFF SNIFF!!!! Ugh, how the hell am I going to get through that daddy/daughter dance???!!!!

I feel the same way—don’t know how I will get thru the dance…we can do it, no tears!!! But atleast they’d be happy tears :/

it caught me by surprise, dad doesn’t usually share emotions like that. He keeps em all bottled up behind that big strong dad exterior. And my brother has been MIA for the last 5 years or so with no contact, complicated situation. I see now that that hurts him more so now, then ever. I’m basically all my parents have 🙁 Just made me feel sad all of a sudden.

Aw, how wonderful! Be sure to save a copy of that for your wedding remembrances. We had only a cake/punch reception so no dad and daughter dance but on the way down the aisle my dad said to me, ” Remember that I’m always here for you; you are only as far away as a phone call if you ever need me.” Totally had me in tears getting ready to go down the aisle!
