Someone shared this story on Facebook. And I felt it should be shared on my blog too.
This is a great reminder for not only his daughter, but for all women.
It’s not very long and so here’s a little excerpt:
Little One, it is not, has never been, and never will be your job to “keep him interested.”
Little One, your only task is to know deeply in your soul—in that unshakeable place that isn’t rattled by rejection and loss and ego—that you are worthy of interest. (If you can remember that everyone else is worthy of interest also, the battle of your life will be mostly won. But that is a letter for another day.)
If you can trust your worth in this way, you will be attractive in the most important sense of the word: you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you.
Please click the link here and read the whole thing. It’ll be worth your while. I promise.
That picture is me and my dad at Tiger Stadium, yes the one that was on the corner of Michigan Ave and Trumbull.
