Father & Daughter

Father & Daughter, a photo by donlee98 on Flickr.

I captured this image in the summer of 2009 while roaming the streets of Chinatown in San Francisco.

Here a father tends to his daughter, helping her with a drink of water. I always enjoy seeing these genuine moments between children and their parents. It makes me think back to when my children were smaller and how much I miss those days. Although my children are more than capable of simple things like getting a drink of water, there are so many other challenges in life I have yet to help them prepare to deal with on their own. And although the thought is quite scary considering all the dangers of the world, days like today remind me of the joys of parenthood and how having children has changed my life.

Happy Father's day to all!
