American gospel musician, Kirk Franklin, whose daughter got married on Saturday 1st October 2016, took out time to pen down an open emotional letter .
She's getting married today.....and I've spent an hour and a half
rewriting this. Crying, smiling, and preparing to let go, ....of my
little girl. I will walk her down the isle, then I will officiate the
wedding. Why? Because I'm selfish, for my little girl. And she
asked her daddy to! How could I say no?! I pray I don't make a fool
of myself and cry more than I speak.
God, it's so hard to release her. If I could I would keep her a little
girl, FOREVER. Selfish, I know. But at this moment, I want to be. I
want to go go- kart riding, jet skiing, middle school basketball
games, movies over and over again....just me and her. This is
hard as Hell. She has no idea, cause she's not a daddy. I am. A
proud one. I hope I was a good one. I'm sorry for that one
spanking you got that killed me more than it did you! I'm proud
and love your future husband. Jealous, but proud. He comes first
now. I'll have to get use to that, cause I'm selfish, for you.
Only pictures get stuck in time, not people. They grow, and need to
be let go.... I'm going to try really hard,...but please, when I see
you with your new life, let me hold you every now and then, and
pretend....that I'm never letting go. Forever daddy's girl.
Signed,
A girl's daddy.
