I got home last night from a meeting at church at about 9:30. I knew Anderson, Walker, and Carla would be asleep but I thought Ellie was probably still awake. She was. She had just been laying in her bed in the dark for an hour and a half looking around. When I walked in, she said, "Is that you, daddy?" in a really sleepy voice. I told her yes and gave her a hug and she wouldn't let go. She just hugged me for the longest time. I told her she was my best little girl and she said, "Oh, thank you, daddy." Then I covered her up and she even let me kiss her goodnight (she's usually just a hugs kind of girl). It was just one of life's precious little moments that I don't want to forget. I'm sure the next thing I know, I'll be walking her down the aisle to marry a handsome republican pediatric surgeon with fledgling political aspirations.
Carla: Walker, do you want to wear your Ohio State shirt to school tomorrow?
Walker: With my Knight in Shining Armor?
Carla: You mean your UnderArmour?
Walker: Oh, yeah. Yeah, sure.

That's neat, Kurt. You may not always be able to remember the exact moment but you'll never ever forget the feeling!
I agree you will be walking Ellie down the aisle in a blink of an eye but maybe she will BE the pediatric surgeon instead of just marrying one.
