Someday I will find my prince but my daddy will always be my King.

I am not ashamed to say that I was a Daddy’s girl. I loved my Mom, but my Daddy was my rock, my protector, my hero. The biggest blow of my teenage years was when he died, suddenly, of a heart attack when I was 18. No, I wasn’t a child, but I was still Daddy’s little princess.

I never really had another father figure in my life until I was adopted in Second Life. Echo and Ryker Darkward can never take the place of the parents I still love and are now watching over me from heaven. But they are the nearest I could ever hope to find.

My two sets of parents couldn’t be more different; my real parents were very conservative. I don’t believe Echo and Ryker even know the meaning of the word. My adoptive parents, though, share the most important traits of my natural parents: they are loving, supportive, and always looking out for their family. I couldn’t ask for better.

This morning, my Dad, Ryker, asked me to take photos of him. He’s started DJing in SL and needed a “really bad-ass picture.” I had to go out, but we made time to do his shoot today.

Daddy, I hope these are bad-ass enough. You rock and I love you ♥
