Heartwarming Illustrations About The Love Between Dads And Their Little Girls
If you are tired of a busy life, the family can be solid moral support. Usually, when we discuss the family’s love, the first thing we think of is the maternal sentiment, but we also should not forget another sacred thing – the father figure.
As far as we know, we now live in a society where fathers are similar to mothers in providing care to their children. So, there’s a special bond between a father and daddy’s little girl. To illustrate this special and tender love most exquisitely, Snezhana Soosh, a young painter, has drawn beautiful watercolor paintings and posted them on her Instagram. These cute cartoons prove us that the true and significant power of our dads is in just how kind, careful, and gentle they can be. Father uses his life to protect and love his daddy’s girl.
Each watercolor drawing will bring many different emotions for readers. Let your heart be captivated as you go through these cute drawings which will make you love your dad even more.

Dads are always ready to protect us from anything — whether it’s the bullies at school or the monsters under our beds
Dads are never afraid of doing impossible things for us. Learning how to braid our hair, for example

He’s so warm and cozy
A big dad can easily become smaller for his beloved daughter

They know exactly what we enjoy
That’s why it’s always so hard to let them go
They play together
The sky is fantasy

Or help us deal with something really difficult
They’re always ready to have fun!
Dads use their lifetime to protect and love their daughters

Share on FacebookI wish my dad would be like that...But mine is just an ahole... It was still really touching. Remindend me of what I never had and always wanted and how despite of every assholery of my dad I cannot hate him however much I want to.
I raised my daughter alone, without her father...he didn´t want to become a father at all...I had the same feelings about those heartwarming pictures, because I know how much she missed her daddy in the past, when she was a child, or even in her youth. Now she is grown, and has learned to deal with it.
Load More Replies...Lots of comments on here from ladies who didn't have the relationship they wanted to have with their father. But know that reading your comments has made me more determined to be every bit the father my daughter deserves, when she arrives any day now. So thank you x
You do that Sir! I thank you in the name of all daughters neglected/ignored by their dad!
Load More Replies...Am I the only one here whose dad is emotionally distant all the time ? I swear I count the childhood memories I have with this guy using one hand only.
All I remember is my father's hand. Sorry to hear there are so many women mistreated by their fathers. It sets the tone of our relationships with men for the rest of our lives,
Load More Replies...Be kind to her, teach her to laugh, hold her, hug her, give her good night kisses. Play with her with the imaginary friend, you will never regret it. She will go through all phases and will still call you daddy.
Load More Replies...This is so like my Dad. He passed on 7 years ago and I'm glad we never missed a chance to say I Love You to each other. Miss him so much.
I commit to all of these above. I am a single dad with more love for my daughter than anything in the whole world. I will always make time for her...she is my number one priorty i even organise my work hours around her. Every father needs to be there for their daughters in more than just the 'existing' way.
Very true Joel. I am blessed with two daughters and they are everything to me.
Load More Replies...Being a divorced dad has made me realize just how much I mean to my daughter. Looking at these reminds me of our time together. I am lucky enough that I see her 4 days a week and I try to give her the world!
I am so glad and happy for you. Not many divorced fathers get to see their children. As a grown up daughter, give her all the love you can.
Load More Replies...I'm a dad. I have four daughters. 7 y/o down to 6 months. There are days I feel like I am the worst dad, but these pics showed me I'm doing my job right.
Make this into a book please!!!! Father's Day is coming up and I would love to gift it to my husband who has 4 little girls!!!
What I never had. Hurts so bad. Why do I hope, knowing it's too late. Knowing there is too much wrong that he's done.
Be him. It is not difficult at all. Love the children when you have them.
Load More Replies...My dad has always been my hero. I loved him as a child and young girl. I hated him as a teenager and confused young woman, when he showed just how human he is. I loved him even more as I matured and learned about him as a human being and not as a parent. My dad is 86 and I love him dearly. I treasure the time I spend with him. He taught me some awesome life lessons, not all of which were easy to learn. I love you Dad.
Lol, these pictures are reflective of me. I'm 6'5" tall and 280#. The "becoming smaller" to allow my kids sleep on the bed is a frequent occurrence. I wouldn't change a thing. I model my parenting on what my parents did right, and what I feel should have been done differently. My children are small only once, and I don't want to miss any of it. I've gone several times to both of my daughters dance classes having to use my big hands to get their hair up into a proper bun for ballet. I'm thankful for being blessed with my children. I learn so much from them. I will always be there....
As an Asian, my father would not do anything that shows his emotion. But he was always there for me. And he worked so hard to provide food on our table. How I miss him so much...
I just showed this to my daughter (11 yrs) and asked if any of them was true for us. I thought that perhaps two, or maybe three would fit. I was wrong. She said that there was only one that wasn't true. She made my day. )I wonder how much she wants to borrow...? ;-) )
From the day my daughter was born I vowed to be the best dad I can be. As you reflect on your own childhood like we all do you count the good and bad memories and if the bad out number the good it tends relate to family...or sadly your Father.So I say this very firmly.. set your foundations as a DAD from day 1 and be consistent in your love and support in every way and in years to come you will have a child that can look at these lovely paintings and smile and say my DAD was and still is like that ..Make it your passion to be a good DAD and never give up and the benefits are brilliant. (Tearful smile)
Well said, I couldn't agree more. I've tried to be the same kind of dad to my kids. Now that they're teens and still tolerate me, I think I succeeded. The rewards of raising children with steadfast, openhearted love are indeed immeasurable!
Load More Replies...There are thousands of post that celebrate mothers and their children and it's really cool to see something celebrating fathers and daughters. As a father with a daughter this made me feel awesome !
My dad passed away 14 yrs ago. I miss him so much to date. He was from the age where they don't express their love in words. My dad was never that way. I was always hugging and kissing him. He always had a kind word for everyone and he has never spoken ill about people even if they have betrayed him. I so much wanted to bring him to me and live with me for some time but, God decided he wanted him more than me. I love you so much appa and miss you everyday of my life.
hi Judit,Barbara, Kristin and Sheila. I am sorry thing where not that way for you guys. I am a dad to three beautiful daughters that i love more then my life. I've done lots of things wrong but they all feel loved and still love me. I would like to adopt you guys as my surrogate daughters and tell you how much i love you and how proud I am of you guys! 020-57070f...caaddc.jpg
I love this! I'm a single dad I work 40+ hrs a week and I come home to a beautiful 4yo who loves the park and loves to run around. My day starts at 545 am and ends when she is in bed. Thanks for recognizing what some of us fathers do
Sorry for those that experienced the oposite, seem to be a lot around here, my dad was also not that kind of loving father, but that made strong and I learned really fast what I shouldn't be to my daughter. Today I am exactly this kind of Daddy! Ready to be at my daughter's side at any time!
Didn't have a dad, I always wondered what it would've been like to have one. Love this demonstration and proud of those true loving fathers out there ❤️
I know I am not a daughter but I wish my dad would have been there to teach me how to be that kind of dad to my daughter.
After having read all the comments down here, I feel extremely fortunate to have had such loving parents who took great care of me untill i finished grad school.
I loved these, and have tried to always be there for my little one (who is now 18). All daughters (and sons!) deserve that level of love and support, and I am sad that not all get that. I tried to include some of my daughter's friends that did not have an active father when I could. I hope this inspires those future fathers and future mother's to consider the value and importance of doing os. :)
I missed a dad like him. and I hope I did a good job on raise up two boys once capable to be like him
Wow, it's like the artist knew how my dad is like. Such happy memories, such beautiful childhood. Even up to now, he is such an incedible grandpa ! I'm trully grateful !
Ah man... this is amazing. I'm a big ol brute. with a big red beard and two unbelievable girls who are the center of my world. after our 6 miscarriages they are even more precious to me than ever... That bed one is amazing. and it's me every morning when I wake up to find me half off the bed and freezing but my girls tucked under me, pressed against my back enjoying the blankets. Ah man, for the dads that miss this, there's only sadness for them. Dad's love your girls man... they are everything! (also TODAY my wife and I are having our third girl!!!! read my story https://marshalburnham.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/joy-in-the-mourning/ )
These images are so quietly profound, so exquisite in showing exactly what every child on this earth needs most above all, that captions aren't even necessary. I cannot recall ever before being so deeply, completely and forever moved by any work of art and its message. Found myself soaking up every soft pixel, virtually inhaling the selfless tender love shown by this giant dad's every small act of giving comfort, sharing joy and encouraging adventure with his daughter. Bravo and thank you, artist Snezhana Soosh.
I so wish I had these kind of memories with my Father. He was so selfish and self-centered that he came first in every aspect, and thought money fixed everything, he still is that way. My Mom told him if didn't become a better person he would reap what he sowed now he's an old man and my Sister and I want nothing to do with him. He will die alone and in a old folks home. Fathers care for your daughters like only a Father can, be in their lives, let them know how loved and important they are to you. Do not think money will replace important time with her.
My favorite is: "A big dad can easily become smaller for his beloved daughter" this reminds me of when my Dad would take afternoon naps with me. He'd never say I needed to take a nap, he'd asked me to keep his back warm while he took a nap. Now a very precious memory of my childhood. I want to thank my nephew Ron for sharing these with me...he could have been the model for these. They're GREAT!
Haha I do all these things and more dailey for my 3 year old princess dailey. 24/7 Right now she is fast asleep right next to mr Am so lucky to have my little princess
So blessed this was my daddy. In my early years, he was my hero. I knew he would protect me from harm if at all possible. He was there for me...every time. In my adult years, he was my best friend. He loved my husband as a son and was a wonderful Pa Pa to our son. He was always "Daddy" and I miss him every day.
Cute. Girls grow up eventually, they become ladies of their own. But in our eyes they always are our little girls.
I LOVE IT! Would definitely buy this if it was printed like a collage in a nice frame! *hint*hint* Would make a WONDERFUL Fathers day gift!
I am a guy and can still relate to this. Had the most loving parents growing up, took good care of me until i finished grad school. :)
I just want to say that I love my daughters so much. I haven't always been the best dad possible, but I'm learning each day to be there
been raising my daughter by myself since the beginning. these pics are so true. except the sleeping in the bed one. i never allowed that. she always had her own room. hahahaha. i feel sorry for you all who never had a dad. all kids deserve to have a dad with them. especially girls. to show them how a man is supposed to treat them and what a real man looks like.
My dad passed away almost three months ago, so seeing this really warmed my heart. He was not only my dad but also my friend, and I really miss him. So much reminds me of him, but I am grateful that I got to have these 22 years with him. He was adventures and enjoyed life to its fullest, and I hope to follow his way of living too.
I am father of a little girls of a few months now. She is so cute. And every image made me feel like really those all illustrations are true
These are some of my dreams that I want to experience as a dad for my little girl....but because of the situation that I'm in right now. Everything's still a dream. I just hope one day......hopefully one day.......
This is amazing. My dad was like this and my husband too. My husband's daughter (my step daughter) was manipulated into believing he is a bad man by her mother due to her mother wanting her all to herself and wanting to get back at him. So, while for a long time he braided her hair and treated her identically to this illustration, unfortunately she no longer wants anything to do with him. She believes the lies her mother tells her. Illustrations like these still hurt him and he is very sensitive, so cries about it. Even two years since the last time we saw her.
I lost my dad a week ago. But he didn't do any of those things with me. Yet I still miss him.
These pictures sum up exactly what my life as a daddy is like :D thank you! x
Ok now i miss grandpa soooo bad :( ( he adopted me cause i never knew my real dad so grandpa is basically my dad )
Is this still available to get an approval to use all your photos of dad and daughter? I just want to make a video for my deceased daddy 🥺
I try my best every day to be the best dad my daughters need. I've been raising them on my own since their mom left us for someone else 6 years ago. I've tried to teach them not to hate their mom. Recently, my daughters (and their cousins) rescued their mom from a life of drugs. I'm so proud of them.
My wife sent me the picture of the dad at the edge of the bed because that’s exactly how it is when our daughter is sleeping in bed with us. She takes up the middle and my wife and I are dangling off the edges of the bed. I love all these illustrations and I strive everyday to be the best father not only to my little girl but to my older son as well. It’s true though that a daughter changes most of use dads for the better as it’s impossible to get upset with our daughters no matter how frustrated we get. I can always come home in a bad mood but as soon as I see the smile of my little girl when I get home all my problems seem to melt away. I read a lot of the comments and I hate the fact that some fathers let down their Daughters it ain’t right and those dudes need to pull their heads out of their A**. My kids are my life and my reason to strive everyday to be a better man. Brian Sergeant United States Marine Corps (Retired)
Thank you very much Sofia. This reminds me of those beautiful days I spent with my dad. I could easily connect with this, because my Dad was the same person. He did crazy things for me, he used to braid my hair, put me to sleep when I was scared to sleep alone, played with me, danced with me, cooked for me, he never told me that he was tired even though he had a stressful day. He always had time for me n my family. I'm very grateful to you Sofia for bringing back those beautiful memories through your work.
I'm sorry to say that i know very few dad's who are truly like this. Some, but very few. The ones who are like this ate true gems and many men should learn from them. To me (from my experience) this is all Mum stuff. This was my mum and this is me. But I do know good dads, they're just few and far between in my personal experience.
I hope that my two adult daughters would think of me in this way. I may never know.
Who is bigger? Dad or daughter? ...it's the daughter...bros her heart is bigger than her dad.
Who is bigger? Dad or daughter? ... its the daughter...because her heart is bigger than her dad.
This is my dad, who is not my biological father, who worked endlessly and tirelessly to provide me with the things I needed in life and have me more love than I'll ever know. He's my hero and my very best friend. It's silly... This actually looks like the both of us. I cried reading this, I'm so grateful and so appreciative. Thank you.
Aww... So me and my daddy werent exactly like these but we were close. Whenever he knsw my mom and i werent getting along he would take me out to the store or shopping or movies. I actually started a lfelong tradition once. Neither of us are very expressive of our emotions but one day i missed him alot and so when he got home i ran all across the house and gave him a big hug. It became an everyday thing and even my sister started because she cant stand me getting loved on but not her.. Im daddys little girl and proud of it.
It was really heart warming . I wish all father of daughters and also sons should be like this. My dad is strict but when I compared this article it matched. :) Thanku dad

As a doting single dad to my amazing twin girls I love these pictures. I'd do anything for my girls.
And I can say I am such Dad for my daughter. If I didnt have to work I would spent my whole time with her. Years before I got married I always dreamed about having a baby daughter or son and all those thing i would do for n with them.. all those things I would teach them.. So now I am. I fell in love with my wife years ago.. N I fell in love with her for the second time when she was so brave n strong n gave birth to our little one. I AM THE LUCKIEST GUY EVER.. N BECAUSE OF THIS FACT IM DOING MY BEST TO BE THE BEST FATHER EVER.
My two daughters are the absolute center of my world (third daughter on her way). these pics are amazing. especially the bed one. that's every morning, I wake up to be almost falling off the bed with my little chicks gathered around me all warm under my blankets (while I'm freezing). After 6 miscarriages we find pure joy with our blessings.... (having my third girls TODAY!!!) My story is found here https://marshalburnham.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/joy-in-the-mourning/
This reminds us to put things into perspective. As dads, we often get caught up in the "hamster wheel" of life. We forget that work will always be there. But our daughters won't. They grow up so fast and we must remember that our kids need us to be present in their lives. Thanks for posting this.
Suddenly missing my father badly. Remind me with my Father did to me on his life. No matter how old I am, he was treat me like his little girl.
That's exactly my dads, he means a lot to me. Even at the age of a 100+ i don't know if I'll be willing to let him go.
I wish my father did that when i was little he never cared all he cared for was my sister and her only i still love my dad though but i wish i had a happy childhood like other people did but that never happened...
My son is an amazing Dad to his 2 beloved daughters. I'm grateful that the first man in their life will teach them to value themselves, to never settle with less in a male partner, to know their opinion counts and to love themselves...'cause their Dad adores them!!! Things that my Dad taught me!
I saw these pictures a few months ago on Reddit and like many of you these pictures made me cry a little. I'm a single father with a 16 month old baby girl and these pictures depict the way I imagine what the future holds for my daughter and I. My wife passed away during labor and was a very tragic experience. Lucky, God blessed me with a healthy & amazing daughter that helped me get through this time. Thank you for sharing these beautiful paintings!
What a wonderful artist - totally captures the emotion -I enjoyed her stare color handling very much ..
I am sorry to all you women who didn't have a father like this, my wife saw this and almost started to cry because I do all that and more for my daughter. I couldn't imagine doing anything else because it's just natural and not a choice, love for her gives me the energy to do so. How a man can live and love any different just says he is not worthy of such a love.
My daughters are such a huge part of my life. They are 21 and 6 years old. I saw the way my sister agonized about our Dad not always being there. I always knew being a Daddy was a huge responsibility and even greater honor. I am sorry some of you never had that. Just know some of us are still out here trying our best to raise daughters with love and give them the confidence and self respect that will serve them for the rest of their days.

Very touching, and so sweet. My youngest daughter and her father are quite like this! He missed out on so much with the first 2 girls. Maybe that's why those 2 are so close now. I don't really know, but it is quite fitting for them. Thank you????
is sad to acept that every day there are more families without a father, but people with faith know that Jesus came to replace that parent tjhat is not present, he is the best father, HE never fails.
Thanks for something so positive and loving. It gets really tiring dealing with all the negative stereotypes. I was the one who chose to stay at home to raise our daughter because my wife and I firmly believe in old-fashioned family values of having a parent at home for the children, and because I earned less than my wife it was a no-brainer who had to give up their career to do it. I have loved every minute that I spent with my daughter, and wish more dads could know the enormous pleasure and gratification of raising a child and interacting with her day to day. I was the one who bawled my eyes out when I had to give up my little playmate to the school system, and I look at her in wonder each and every day almost in disbelief that I could have had anything to do with someone who's just so perfect. She's now nearing thirteen years of age and is growing up so fast, but I will love her till the day I die - she gave new meaning to my life.
I just loved the drawings! Apart from being sweet, funny and very touching they are also absolutely artistic. I sent them to my son, who has three young children, and to three of my four sons-in-law. I am sure, they will enjoy them, too.
Dads can protect their daughters from anything in this world except from one person.
Beautiful pictures! One note, though. It's very dangerous to sleep with little children, especially when the size difference is so great. An EMT I know says he's responded to too many house calls where a young child has been injured by a parent rolling on him/her while sleeping.
My dad was just like that. If I needed anything, he would find a way to get it for me. He helped me with all of my projects, even the messy ones. When he was too sick to take care of himself, I brought him to live here and we rediscovered the companionship we'd missed since I moved away with my husband and children. We rediscovered each other and I will forever be grateful that I had my dad again for the last 5 years of his life. He's been gone these past 3 years, and I miss him every day. I love you, Daddy.
Man, this is really sweet. Makes me miss the times when my daughter was that little.
My dad was my best friend. I see "US" in everyone of those pictures....
We were blessed to have a father like this- as are our daughters. Not a day goes by that we aren't grateful. I wish everyone had this with their fathers. The world might be a different place <3
This was my dad. And is my husband to our two girls. We are very very blessed and don't go a day without realizing that. Wish everyone had this experience. The world might be a different place <3
I'm so proud of my husband...every sing picture seemed to be out of all the pictures I would take of them while they were playing, from the tea parties when he was at the desk trying to do his paper work for work to the hoola hoops and especially the bed LMBO its him and her to a t...I love it and sometimes even jealous but happy their close <3
This article literally brought tears to my eyes! My dad was like this since I remember and I am really grateful for him for each second spent with me. Too bad he passed away seven months ago after a long desease and not even reaching his 60s. I truly believe he was the best father ever!
Lol I wrote and summitted but because of the signup process I think my post was lost ... Take 2! Lol These pics are heartwarming. I think we're seeing a shift... In the way we parent. With more women going back to work there is a need for dads to become more involved than perhaps dads that came before were. When my first was born, I went to a bookstore and asked for a kids book from a dads respective ... They had lots for mum, lots from a neutral perspective, but little to none for dad. I thought this was unacceptable so the seed was planted to create works of my own. With a little hard work, I self published my first book last year and another last month. A dad and his kids.., putting our best parental foot forward. http://www.highfieldworld.com/index.html I am looking for a publisher so if you know of any please let me know. I'm continuing the series. Sam.
This is heartwarming. I think there is a shift happening in the parental dynamic. In the last generation, more women have been going back to work, creating their own businesses. The need for a more involved "dad" is clear. When my first child was born, I visited a book store and asked for a kids book...But from a "dads perspective". There wasn't much, so I decided to write my own. With a little hard work, I self published my first book last year, and another a month ago. A dad and his kids - putting our best foot forward. http://www.highfieldworld.com/index.html I'm looking for a publisher to do the distribution for me, so if anyone knows one.. your help is appreciated.
The dad pushed to the edge of the bed w the daughter up against his back reminded me of my ex and his daughter. He would always say the smallest being takes up the bed. And he'd do her hair. My dad was nothing like that, so when my ex was with his daughter snuggling on the couch watching cartoons, it made me fall in love with him.
This was my Dad! These pictures remind me of how truly awesome he was to me and my sister as well as his grandchildren. He loved being a Dad and I loved having him for my Dad! I miss him so much. Thanks to the artist for creating these wonderful pictures that brought back so many good memories!
I'm grateful that my husband is THIS dad. He's a big guy too and it's so touching to see him having tea parties and painting my daughter's nails. I'm saddened to read the other comments about women who didn't have a dad like this......
I absolutely love these. My husband is this kind of dad. He has tea parties with our daughter (who is now 4) and sleeps at the edge of the bed for her. I'm saddened to read the comments about those that didn't have a dad like this.
Love my little girl and yes i would do anything for her to make her feel like this. She is my everything but so is my little boy
I have to say I am sorry for the women who didn't have this in there live I can't say I understand cause I had the best dad in the world he wasn't my blood dad but love me no less. I am so thankful for that . my daughter also has a amazing daddy. but I understand how not having that could hurt.
I know that I'm not a daughter, but I wish I my dad would have been there to teach me how to be that kind of dad to my daughter.
I love my daughter. She is only 18 months old, and we've already shared a lot of these moments. It's going to be near impossible to let her go, as far as I can see. Maybe when she has blossimed into a woman, she will let me go. But she will ALWAYS be my princess.
I have a daughter of my own. I do my very best to make sure she knows that she is loved and protected, but I will not allow her to become spoiled to the point that she thinks that she can have whatever she wants by crying for it.
I had two step daughters. One made it easy to be sweet to her. The older sister made it quite difficult. They're both grown. The older one has had a lifetime of emotional difficulty. The younger one is married to a good man who is very good to both of their daughters.
I don't have any kids (yet) but I feel the pain from some of these comments. I'll always cherish and protect my baby girl.
I had my Grandpa and my dearly-loved StepDad (My DAD) - I raised 2 sons basically alone, and I see my youngest with his daughter and I just love it - make-up - princess tiara - nail-polish -- I love it. He decided he was NOT gonna be like HIS Dad, and he most assuredly is not. Thank You God My eldest chose not to have children - but he's sure a great step-Dad and "Papa" :-) <3 <3
Only a good dad till he accidentally rolls over in the middle of the night.
My daughters are my princesses. I thank God every day for them, and everytime I see them - I realize how lucky I am to be the first man they ever loved! Me!! I never miss an opportunity to hug them tightly.
Love it. My brother is the dad of two beautiful, energetic, blue-eyed, redheaded little daughters!
My daddy passed when I was 4 years old. His replacement was impossible. Now I cherish being a soft and available dad. One love, to healing and family.
My dad passed when I was 4 years old. His replacement was impossible. Now I cherish the time being dad. One love, to healing and family.
I am a dad ... of a 4 year old son ... and i do all those things I saw in the illustrations with him, even brush his hair for really hours, while he is allowed tocwatch tv, cause he has afro curls
The demon drink makes it hard to remember the happy moments. My dad has his good and bad moments but like all lovers of drink the bad out weight the good. But I still find it hard no to love him
Looking at these reminds me of how fast that phase of my children's lives went by. My daughter is a teen now, and things are difficult. But no matter the trouble or anger that arises, there is a solid foundation of love that we stand on, and we always find our way back to. I know that that's because of the quality time we spent together all her life, and because of the loving relationship we built together. I have every card and gift my daughter ever made for me, and they are my most priceless treasures. It goes by so fast, and it's often hard, but the rewards are immeasurable as they grow up into young adults. So don't waste a minute of your time with them when they're growing up, and give them all of your heart every day of their lives. You'll never regret it.
i really dont know, but how should every dad feel whos small? cant a dad be tired? i gives a picture od a dad who always be a hero in space, probabaly he wants to beeee but also he also has to eat sometimes somethings .. its a nice story, but's still a picture story, and i think of a busy situation, I KNOW SOMETHING REALLY BUSY ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... in this moment: also children can be patient ;)
My Dad was my rock. The best times in my growing up was times spent together. This cartoon was my Dad. He play with me. He would take me and my friends to outing. He always made time for me. I had a mom but she never like to do anything with her other then drag me to her social events. I miss my BFF.
I'm really proud and happy to be this kind of dad to my little girl. :-)
The moment I arrive home, she greets me by singing loud, just around me the entire time I am home, until I go to bed, sleeps with me several times during the night, she is my bee, always around me, makes me feel the best, says goodbyes, kisses me many times, today she walked me back to the bed to sleep with her again and then told me to go to office, the same goes for the bigger one, can't hold herself away without hugging and kissing me... these are my 3 little princesses, this post is nothing compared to how I feel with them... but good effort definitely, perhaps from the girl's perspective.... Trust me, Dad's are going missing out big time than your daughter if you are any less....
I never had a dad like any of these pictures, in fact, I had the polar opposite. That said, I am a new dad now to a gorgeous little girl, and I vow to do each any every one of these things, and many, many more. I vow to be the dad that I never had.
When my dad were traveling we close all the doors and lock it good When I start to travel he were always my best advisor My dad were better and still I knew that when I start to understand that he is enjoying saying no for me to any stupid stuff I wanted I wish to travel with the time back to make him enjoy more #thanks_dad
It breaks my heart that so many of us never had a father like the one in these pictures. I was blessed to have this kind of father for our daughter, he was, and still is the most loving and giving , protective., Daddy a girl can have! She calls us almost everyday. She thanks us for giving her so many opportunities to be successful in life! We are all so blessed to have each other! ❤️
I was blessed, no my Daddy didn't braid my hair or even play with me. He worked his tail end of to feed 11 children, but he kissed me good night every night and told me he loved me and that was enough for me. This is beautiful.
To all you women who grew up without a daddy... or who were single mothers so your children missed out on dads like this... consider this... MOST men *WANT* ... DESPERATELY WANT... to be dads like this... but evil horrible selfish women drive them away. 99% of the time, if your dad wasn't around, it's because your mom was a total c**t to him and didn't feel it was her job to compromise anything to allow him to be the man he wanted to be. Think about it.
I had a wonderful dad. He learnt me everithing about live. He was a beautiful human beiing. But I had a jalouse mother, she kept trying to make him bealive a was a bad girl by lying about my behaviour. He died at 57 when I was pragned from his first grandschild! I miss him very much. Now I am 64. I some time like to think through him mind for a solution at some of my problems in live. Thank my dad for caring.
My dad was an amazing and very beautiful man. He learnt me everithing about live, but I had a jalouse mother rather sick , so sche trieded to keep him from education . He died when he was 57. I am now 64 and through his beiing I get the stronght for problem resolution. He was a very in telligent and graet human beeing also for my two brothers. I miss him!
Every clip took me back to those days when my daughter was small when I did had all these roles to play. Thanks a lot.
I love being a dad to a beautiful little girl. No matter how hard it can be, it always seems worth it.
i strive hard to be this dad. and I'd love to get a print or two of these to hand on my daughters bedroom wall :-)
I'd love to know how i can order a print of one or more of these....
This is me and my daughter, frame by frame. Thank you so much for sharing!
And of course the comment section is about people whining about their child's father or how their father wasn't around.
I wish it had more illustrations, never wanted the story to be finished. It's so touchy. Father is so big yet cute and daughter is so small yet cute like princess.
This reminds me of me and my Emma. The most important and loving beautiful little princess.
So true! Even that illustration of sleeping, I used to sneak into his bed on his afternoon naps and fall asleep beside him because it was cosy. How my dad carried me and sent me to bed, how I always occupied his tummy right up until I was 9 years old where I could sit on his lap anymore and held his hand all the way till he passed on at 75 years of age. He was all that the artist illustrated and more! How heartwarming this is!
As a dad this resonates with me. The child that my wife sees in me, allows me to be carefree with my daughter. I am my daughters rock, I grow her confidence in the gardens that we play and walk, hand in hand. To all the dad's out there,being dad's, g old on you. Keep our daughters growing tears and smiles and all
My wife said this reminds her of me and my daughter. I couldn't think of a better compliment.
my dad was like that and even more than it, he loved me more than anything in this world... he left this world because of cancer when I was ten yrs old. But I'm happy I experienced wonderful childhood with my father always by my side and I i will always carry these memories in my heart. I love you dad!
Lovely post ... feels like made for me & my daughter... she made me a more sensible & responsible & playful & happy guy which I never knew that I could be ... but since she is born every day is so meaningful
this is about good father's not poor father's . leave your negative comments elsewhere. not all father's are the same
The Mother of my daughter tried to prevent me being involved in her life, and left me off the birth certificate. I took her to court, and after an expensive 10 month battle I had my name added to the birth certificate and was granted weekend access. These delightful illustrations depict the way that I hope my daughter views me; I am so blessed to have her in my life.
The Mother of my daughter tried to prevent me being involved in her life and left me off the birth certificate; I took her to court and after an expensive 10 months, I won the case. I now have the pleasure of spending every weekend with my daughter and these delightful illustrations reflect the Daddy I try to be for my precious child.
*sigh* My dad was like this...up until the moment he decided to walk away, which made things harder to accept. :( Sometimes I wish he became an a*****e instead, just so it would be justifiable and easier to accept.
My dad treats me like a gem that he honestly thinks that i should never get married and that only he can protect me from everuthing bad and evil. He said 'darling, dont worry daddys here and i will make sure u will have a happy life whether im dead or alive'. I am still stunned over that advice!
I am so sorry for those who have not experienced the love of a Dad as shown in this pics....I was so blessed to have a father like that and i am trying to be the same to my daughters...

This artwork is wonderful. Do you know if the artist has done something similar for "Moms and their little girls"?
Wow, it's like the artist knew how my dad is like. Such happy memories for me. I'm trully grateful.
There are Dads and Fathers. Dad's do the above. Fathers donate sperm.
I could appreciate the sentiment, but these examples weren't remotely like my own life and upbringing. The pictures are beautiful but examples heavily stereotyped, the same kind of examples you might see in a TV show, but who are these people? This is an idealized dream that applies to almost no one except maybe someone born in a white family in America/Canada to a dad who travels a lot but still tries to stay involved and love his kid - again, a very narrow subset of the population.
Just because it was not your experience, does not mean it applies to almost no one. Unless you happen to be in everyone's home! Lots of men I know are exactly like this! My beloved Dad...as well.
Load More Replies...In real life for dads. it is not that funny as on illustrations. Its the most serious and responcible Job in the world.
Despite how heart warming this looks, I prefer 0 kids. Nice art style though and consistent characters - perfect for a graphic novel.
I feel so sorry for all you going ladies. You can have that relationship you want and need with the best Father in the whole world! Jesus is His name. Ask Him in to your heart and never feel or be alone again. Blessings
I wish my dad would be like that...But mine is just an ahole... It was still really touching. Remindend me of what I never had and always wanted and how despite of every assholery of my dad I cannot hate him however much I want to.
I raised my daughter alone, without her father...he didn´t want to become a father at all...I had the same feelings about those heartwarming pictures, because I know how much she missed her daddy in the past, when she was a child, or even in her youth. Now she is grown, and has learned to deal with it.
Load More Replies...Lots of comments on here from ladies who didn't have the relationship they wanted to have with their father. But know that reading your comments has made me more determined to be every bit the father my daughter deserves, when she arrives any day now. So thank you x
You do that Sir! I thank you in the name of all daughters neglected/ignored by their dad!
Load More Replies...Am I the only one here whose dad is emotionally distant all the time ? I swear I count the childhood memories I have with this guy using one hand only.
All I remember is my father's hand. Sorry to hear there are so many women mistreated by their fathers. It sets the tone of our relationships with men for the rest of our lives,
Load More Replies...Be kind to her, teach her to laugh, hold her, hug her, give her good night kisses. Play with her with the imaginary friend, you will never regret it. She will go through all phases and will still call you daddy.
Load More Replies...This is so like my Dad. He passed on 7 years ago and I'm glad we never missed a chance to say I Love You to each other. Miss him so much.
I commit to all of these above. I am a single dad with more love for my daughter than anything in the whole world. I will always make time for her...she is my number one priorty i even organise my work hours around her. Every father needs to be there for their daughters in more than just the 'existing' way.
Very true Joel. I am blessed with two daughters and they are everything to me.
Load More Replies...Being a divorced dad has made me realize just how much I mean to my daughter. Looking at these reminds me of our time together. I am lucky enough that I see her 4 days a week and I try to give her the world!
I am so glad and happy for you. Not many divorced fathers get to see their children. As a grown up daughter, give her all the love you can.
Load More Replies...I'm a dad. I have four daughters. 7 y/o down to 6 months. There are days I feel like I am the worst dad, but these pics showed me I'm doing my job right.
Make this into a book please!!!! Father's Day is coming up and I would love to gift it to my husband who has 4 little girls!!!
What I never had. Hurts so bad. Why do I hope, knowing it's too late. Knowing there is too much wrong that he's done.
Be him. It is not difficult at all. Love the children when you have them.
Load More Replies...My dad has always been my hero. I loved him as a child and young girl. I hated him as a teenager and confused young woman, when he showed just how human he is. I loved him even more as I matured and learned about him as a human being and not as a parent. My dad is 86 and I love him dearly. I treasure the time I spend with him. He taught me some awesome life lessons, not all of which were easy to learn. I love you Dad.
Lol, these pictures are reflective of me. I'm 6'5" tall and 280#. The "becoming smaller" to allow my kids sleep on the bed is a frequent occurrence. I wouldn't change a thing. I model my parenting on what my parents did right, and what I feel should have been done differently. My children are small only once, and I don't want to miss any of it. I've gone several times to both of my daughters dance classes having to use my big hands to get their hair up into a proper bun for ballet. I'm thankful for being blessed with my children. I learn so much from them. I will always be there....
As an Asian, my father would not do anything that shows his emotion. But he was always there for me. And he worked so hard to provide food on our table. How I miss him so much...
I just showed this to my daughter (11 yrs) and asked if any of them was true for us. I thought that perhaps two, or maybe three would fit. I was wrong. She said that there was only one that wasn't true. She made my day. )I wonder how much she wants to borrow...? ;-) )
From the day my daughter was born I vowed to be the best dad I can be. As you reflect on your own childhood like we all do you count the good and bad memories and if the bad out number the good it tends relate to family...or sadly your Father.So I say this very firmly.. set your foundations as a DAD from day 1 and be consistent in your love and support in every way and in years to come you will have a child that can look at these lovely paintings and smile and say my DAD was and still is like that ..Make it your passion to be a good DAD and never give up and the benefits are brilliant. (Tearful smile)
Well said, I couldn't agree more. I've tried to be the same kind of dad to my kids. Now that they're teens and still tolerate me, I think I succeeded. The rewards of raising children with steadfast, openhearted love are indeed immeasurable!
Load More Replies...There are thousands of post that celebrate mothers and their children and it's really cool to see something celebrating fathers and daughters. As a father with a daughter this made me feel awesome !
My dad passed away 14 yrs ago. I miss him so much to date. He was from the age where they don't express their love in words. My dad was never that way. I was always hugging and kissing him. He always had a kind word for everyone and he has never spoken ill about people even if they have betrayed him. I so much wanted to bring him to me and live with me for some time but, God decided he wanted him more than me. I love you so much appa and miss you everyday of my life.
hi Judit,Barbara, Kristin and Sheila. I am sorry thing where not that way for you guys. I am a dad to three beautiful daughters that i love more then my life. I've done lots of things wrong but they all feel loved and still love me. I would like to adopt you guys as my surrogate daughters and tell you how much i love you and how proud I am of you guys! 020-57070f...caaddc.jpg
I love this! I'm a single dad I work 40+ hrs a week and I come home to a beautiful 4yo who loves the park and loves to run around. My day starts at 545 am and ends when she is in bed. Thanks for recognizing what some of us fathers do
Sorry for those that experienced the oposite, seem to be a lot around here, my dad was also not that kind of loving father, but that made strong and I learned really fast what I shouldn't be to my daughter. Today I am exactly this kind of Daddy! Ready to be at my daughter's side at any time!
Didn't have a dad, I always wondered what it would've been like to have one. Love this demonstration and proud of those true loving fathers out there ❤️
I know I am not a daughter but I wish my dad would have been there to teach me how to be that kind of dad to my daughter.
After having read all the comments down here, I feel extremely fortunate to have had such loving parents who took great care of me untill i finished grad school.
I loved these, and have tried to always be there for my little one (who is now 18). All daughters (and sons!) deserve that level of love and support, and I am sad that not all get that. I tried to include some of my daughter's friends that did not have an active father when I could. I hope this inspires those future fathers and future mother's to consider the value and importance of doing os. :)
I missed a dad like him. and I hope I did a good job on raise up two boys once capable to be like him
Wow, it's like the artist knew how my dad is like. Such happy memories, such beautiful childhood. Even up to now, he is such an incedible grandpa ! I'm trully grateful !
Ah man... this is amazing. I'm a big ol brute. with a big red beard and two unbelievable girls who are the center of my world. after our 6 miscarriages they are even more precious to me than ever... That bed one is amazing. and it's me every morning when I wake up to find me half off the bed and freezing but my girls tucked under me, pressed against my back enjoying the blankets. Ah man, for the dads that miss this, there's only sadness for them. Dad's love your girls man... they are everything! (also TODAY my wife and I are having our third girl!!!! read my story https://marshalburnham.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/joy-in-the-mourning/ )
These images are so quietly profound, so exquisite in showing exactly what every child on this earth needs most above all, that captions aren't even necessary. I cannot recall ever before being so deeply, completely and forever moved by any work of art and its message. Found myself soaking up every soft pixel, virtually inhaling the selfless tender love shown by this giant dad's every small act of giving comfort, sharing joy and encouraging adventure with his daughter. Bravo and thank you, artist Snezhana Soosh.
I so wish I had these kind of memories with my Father. He was so selfish and self-centered that he came first in every aspect, and thought money fixed everything, he still is that way. My Mom told him if didn't become a better person he would reap what he sowed now he's an old man and my Sister and I want nothing to do with him. He will die alone and in a old folks home. Fathers care for your daughters like only a Father can, be in their lives, let them know how loved and important they are to you. Do not think money will replace important time with her.
My favorite is: "A big dad can easily become smaller for his beloved daughter" this reminds me of when my Dad would take afternoon naps with me. He'd never say I needed to take a nap, he'd asked me to keep his back warm while he took a nap. Now a very precious memory of my childhood. I want to thank my nephew Ron for sharing these with me...he could have been the model for these. They're GREAT!
Haha I do all these things and more dailey for my 3 year old princess dailey. 24/7 Right now she is fast asleep right next to mr Am so lucky to have my little princess
So blessed this was my daddy. In my early years, he was my hero. I knew he would protect me from harm if at all possible. He was there for me...every time. In my adult years, he was my best friend. He loved my husband as a son and was a wonderful Pa Pa to our son. He was always "Daddy" and I miss him every day.
Cute. Girls grow up eventually, they become ladies of their own. But in our eyes they always are our little girls.
I LOVE IT! Would definitely buy this if it was printed like a collage in a nice frame! *hint*hint* Would make a WONDERFUL Fathers day gift!
I am a guy and can still relate to this. Had the most loving parents growing up, took good care of me until i finished grad school. :)
I just want to say that I love my daughters so much. I haven't always been the best dad possible, but I'm learning each day to be there
been raising my daughter by myself since the beginning. these pics are so true. except the sleeping in the bed one. i never allowed that. she always had her own room. hahahaha. i feel sorry for you all who never had a dad. all kids deserve to have a dad with them. especially girls. to show them how a man is supposed to treat them and what a real man looks like.
My dad passed away almost three months ago, so seeing this really warmed my heart. He was not only my dad but also my friend, and I really miss him. So much reminds me of him, but I am grateful that I got to have these 22 years with him. He was adventures and enjoyed life to its fullest, and I hope to follow his way of living too.
I am father of a little girls of a few months now. She is so cute. And every image made me feel like really those all illustrations are true
These are some of my dreams that I want to experience as a dad for my little girl....but because of the situation that I'm in right now. Everything's still a dream. I just hope one day......hopefully one day.......
This is amazing. My dad was like this and my husband too. My husband's daughter (my step daughter) was manipulated into believing he is a bad man by her mother due to her mother wanting her all to herself and wanting to get back at him. So, while for a long time he braided her hair and treated her identically to this illustration, unfortunately she no longer wants anything to do with him. She believes the lies her mother tells her. Illustrations like these still hurt him and he is very sensitive, so cries about it. Even two years since the last time we saw her.
I lost my dad a week ago. But he didn't do any of those things with me. Yet I still miss him.
These pictures sum up exactly what my life as a daddy is like :D thank you! x
Ok now i miss grandpa soooo bad :( ( he adopted me cause i never knew my real dad so grandpa is basically my dad )
Is this still available to get an approval to use all your photos of dad and daughter? I just want to make a video for my deceased daddy 🥺
I try my best every day to be the best dad my daughters need. I've been raising them on my own since their mom left us for someone else 6 years ago. I've tried to teach them not to hate their mom. Recently, my daughters (and their cousins) rescued their mom from a life of drugs. I'm so proud of them.
My wife sent me the picture of the dad at the edge of the bed because that’s exactly how it is when our daughter is sleeping in bed with us. She takes up the middle and my wife and I are dangling off the edges of the bed. I love all these illustrations and I strive everyday to be the best father not only to my little girl but to my older son as well. It’s true though that a daughter changes most of use dads for the better as it’s impossible to get upset with our daughters no matter how frustrated we get. I can always come home in a bad mood but as soon as I see the smile of my little girl when I get home all my problems seem to melt away. I read a lot of the comments and I hate the fact that some fathers let down their Daughters it ain’t right and those dudes need to pull their heads out of their A**. My kids are my life and my reason to strive everyday to be a better man. Brian Sergeant United States Marine Corps (Retired)
Thank you very much Sofia. This reminds me of those beautiful days I spent with my dad. I could easily connect with this, because my Dad was the same person. He did crazy things for me, he used to braid my hair, put me to sleep when I was scared to sleep alone, played with me, danced with me, cooked for me, he never told me that he was tired even though he had a stressful day. He always had time for me n my family. I'm very grateful to you Sofia for bringing back those beautiful memories through your work.
I'm sorry to say that i know very few dad's who are truly like this. Some, but very few. The ones who are like this ate true gems and many men should learn from them. To me (from my experience) this is all Mum stuff. This was my mum and this is me. But I do know good dads, they're just few and far between in my personal experience.
I hope that my two adult daughters would think of me in this way. I may never know.
Who is bigger? Dad or daughter? ...it's the daughter...bros her heart is bigger than her dad.
Who is bigger? Dad or daughter? ... its the daughter...because her heart is bigger than her dad.
This is my dad, who is not my biological father, who worked endlessly and tirelessly to provide me with the things I needed in life and have me more love than I'll ever know. He's my hero and my very best friend. It's silly... This actually looks like the both of us. I cried reading this, I'm so grateful and so appreciative. Thank you.
Aww... So me and my daddy werent exactly like these but we were close. Whenever he knsw my mom and i werent getting along he would take me out to the store or shopping or movies. I actually started a lfelong tradition once. Neither of us are very expressive of our emotions but one day i missed him alot and so when he got home i ran all across the house and gave him a big hug. It became an everyday thing and even my sister started because she cant stand me getting loved on but not her.. Im daddys little girl and proud of it.
It was really heart warming . I wish all father of daughters and also sons should be like this. My dad is strict but when I compared this article it matched. :) Thanku dad

As a doting single dad to my amazing twin girls I love these pictures. I'd do anything for my girls.
And I can say I am such Dad for my daughter. If I didnt have to work I would spent my whole time with her. Years before I got married I always dreamed about having a baby daughter or son and all those thing i would do for n with them.. all those things I would teach them.. So now I am. I fell in love with my wife years ago.. N I fell in love with her for the second time when she was so brave n strong n gave birth to our little one. I AM THE LUCKIEST GUY EVER.. N BECAUSE OF THIS FACT IM DOING MY BEST TO BE THE BEST FATHER EVER.
My two daughters are the absolute center of my world (third daughter on her way). these pics are amazing. especially the bed one. that's every morning, I wake up to be almost falling off the bed with my little chicks gathered around me all warm under my blankets (while I'm freezing). After 6 miscarriages we find pure joy with our blessings.... (having my third girls TODAY!!!) My story is found here https://marshalburnham.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/joy-in-the-mourning/
This reminds us to put things into perspective. As dads, we often get caught up in the "hamster wheel" of life. We forget that work will always be there. But our daughters won't. They grow up so fast and we must remember that our kids need us to be present in their lives. Thanks for posting this.
Suddenly missing my father badly. Remind me with my Father did to me on his life. No matter how old I am, he was treat me like his little girl.
That's exactly my dads, he means a lot to me. Even at the age of a 100+ i don't know if I'll be willing to let him go.
I wish my father did that when i was little he never cared all he cared for was my sister and her only i still love my dad though but i wish i had a happy childhood like other people did but that never happened...
My son is an amazing Dad to his 2 beloved daughters. I'm grateful that the first man in their life will teach them to value themselves, to never settle with less in a male partner, to know their opinion counts and to love themselves...'cause their Dad adores them!!! Things that my Dad taught me!
I saw these pictures a few months ago on Reddit and like many of you these pictures made me cry a little. I'm a single father with a 16 month old baby girl and these pictures depict the way I imagine what the future holds for my daughter and I. My wife passed away during labor and was a very tragic experience. Lucky, God blessed me with a healthy & amazing daughter that helped me get through this time. Thank you for sharing these beautiful paintings!
What a wonderful artist - totally captures the emotion -I enjoyed her stare color handling very much ..
I am sorry to all you women who didn't have a father like this, my wife saw this and almost started to cry because I do all that and more for my daughter. I couldn't imagine doing anything else because it's just natural and not a choice, love for her gives me the energy to do so. How a man can live and love any different just says he is not worthy of such a love.
My daughters are such a huge part of my life. They are 21 and 6 years old. I saw the way my sister agonized about our Dad not always being there. I always knew being a Daddy was a huge responsibility and even greater honor. I am sorry some of you never had that. Just know some of us are still out here trying our best to raise daughters with love and give them the confidence and self respect that will serve them for the rest of their days.

Very touching, and so sweet. My youngest daughter and her father are quite like this! He missed out on so much with the first 2 girls. Maybe that's why those 2 are so close now. I don't really know, but it is quite fitting for them. Thank you????
is sad to acept that every day there are more families without a father, but people with faith know that Jesus came to replace that parent tjhat is not present, he is the best father, HE never fails.
Thanks for something so positive and loving. It gets really tiring dealing with all the negative stereotypes. I was the one who chose to stay at home to raise our daughter because my wife and I firmly believe in old-fashioned family values of having a parent at home for the children, and because I earned less than my wife it was a no-brainer who had to give up their career to do it. I have loved every minute that I spent with my daughter, and wish more dads could know the enormous pleasure and gratification of raising a child and interacting with her day to day. I was the one who bawled my eyes out when I had to give up my little playmate to the school system, and I look at her in wonder each and every day almost in disbelief that I could have had anything to do with someone who's just so perfect. She's now nearing thirteen years of age and is growing up so fast, but I will love her till the day I die - she gave new meaning to my life.
I just loved the drawings! Apart from being sweet, funny and very touching they are also absolutely artistic. I sent them to my son, who has three young children, and to three of my four sons-in-law. I am sure, they will enjoy them, too.
Dads can protect their daughters from anything in this world except from one person.
Beautiful pictures! One note, though. It's very dangerous to sleep with little children, especially when the size difference is so great. An EMT I know says he's responded to too many house calls where a young child has been injured by a parent rolling on him/her while sleeping.
My dad was just like that. If I needed anything, he would find a way to get it for me. He helped me with all of my projects, even the messy ones. When he was too sick to take care of himself, I brought him to live here and we rediscovered the companionship we'd missed since I moved away with my husband and children. We rediscovered each other and I will forever be grateful that I had my dad again for the last 5 years of his life. He's been gone these past 3 years, and I miss him every day. I love you, Daddy.
Man, this is really sweet. Makes me miss the times when my daughter was that little.
My dad was my best friend. I see "US" in everyone of those pictures....
We were blessed to have a father like this- as are our daughters. Not a day goes by that we aren't grateful. I wish everyone had this with their fathers. The world might be a different place <3
This was my dad. And is my husband to our two girls. We are very very blessed and don't go a day without realizing that. Wish everyone had this experience. The world might be a different place <3
I'm so proud of my husband...every sing picture seemed to be out of all the pictures I would take of them while they were playing, from the tea parties when he was at the desk trying to do his paper work for work to the hoola hoops and especially the bed LMBO its him and her to a t...I love it and sometimes even jealous but happy their close <3
This article literally brought tears to my eyes! My dad was like this since I remember and I am really grateful for him for each second spent with me. Too bad he passed away seven months ago after a long desease and not even reaching his 60s. I truly believe he was the best father ever!
Lol I wrote and summitted but because of the signup process I think my post was lost ... Take 2! Lol These pics are heartwarming. I think we're seeing a shift... In the way we parent. With more women going back to work there is a need for dads to become more involved than perhaps dads that came before were. When my first was born, I went to a bookstore and asked for a kids book from a dads respective ... They had lots for mum, lots from a neutral perspective, but little to none for dad. I thought this was unacceptable so the seed was planted to create works of my own. With a little hard work, I self published my first book last year and another last month. A dad and his kids.., putting our best parental foot forward. http://www.highfieldworld.com/index.html I am looking for a publisher so if you know of any please let me know. I'm continuing the series. Sam.
This is heartwarming. I think there is a shift happening in the parental dynamic. In the last generation, more women have been going back to work, creating their own businesses. The need for a more involved "dad" is clear. When my first child was born, I visited a book store and asked for a kids book...But from a "dads perspective". There wasn't much, so I decided to write my own. With a little hard work, I self published my first book last year, and another a month ago. A dad and his kids - putting our best foot forward. http://www.highfieldworld.com/index.html I'm looking for a publisher to do the distribution for me, so if anyone knows one.. your help is appreciated.
The dad pushed to the edge of the bed w the daughter up against his back reminded me of my ex and his daughter. He would always say the smallest being takes up the bed. And he'd do her hair. My dad was nothing like that, so when my ex was with his daughter snuggling on the couch watching cartoons, it made me fall in love with him.
This was my Dad! These pictures remind me of how truly awesome he was to me and my sister as well as his grandchildren. He loved being a Dad and I loved having him for my Dad! I miss him so much. Thanks to the artist for creating these wonderful pictures that brought back so many good memories!
I'm grateful that my husband is THIS dad. He's a big guy too and it's so touching to see him having tea parties and painting my daughter's nails. I'm saddened to read the other comments about women who didn't have a dad like this......
I absolutely love these. My husband is this kind of dad. He has tea parties with our daughter (who is now 4) and sleeps at the edge of the bed for her. I'm saddened to read the comments about those that didn't have a dad like this.
Love my little girl and yes i would do anything for her to make her feel like this. She is my everything but so is my little boy
I have to say I am sorry for the women who didn't have this in there live I can't say I understand cause I had the best dad in the world he wasn't my blood dad but love me no less. I am so thankful for that . my daughter also has a amazing daddy. but I understand how not having that could hurt.
I know that I'm not a daughter, but I wish I my dad would have been there to teach me how to be that kind of dad to my daughter.
I love my daughter. She is only 18 months old, and we've already shared a lot of these moments. It's going to be near impossible to let her go, as far as I can see. Maybe when she has blossimed into a woman, she will let me go. But she will ALWAYS be my princess.
I have a daughter of my own. I do my very best to make sure she knows that she is loved and protected, but I will not allow her to become spoiled to the point that she thinks that she can have whatever she wants by crying for it.
I had two step daughters. One made it easy to be sweet to her. The older sister made it quite difficult. They're both grown. The older one has had a lifetime of emotional difficulty. The younger one is married to a good man who is very good to both of their daughters.
I don't have any kids (yet) but I feel the pain from some of these comments. I'll always cherish and protect my baby girl.
I had my Grandpa and my dearly-loved StepDad (My DAD) - I raised 2 sons basically alone, and I see my youngest with his daughter and I just love it - make-up - princess tiara - nail-polish -- I love it. He decided he was NOT gonna be like HIS Dad, and he most assuredly is not. Thank You God My eldest chose not to have children - but he's sure a great step-Dad and "Papa" :-) <3 <3
Only a good dad till he accidentally rolls over in the middle of the night.
My daughters are my princesses. I thank God every day for them, and everytime I see them - I realize how lucky I am to be the first man they ever loved! Me!! I never miss an opportunity to hug them tightly.
Love it. My brother is the dad of two beautiful, energetic, blue-eyed, redheaded little daughters!
My daddy passed when I was 4 years old. His replacement was impossible. Now I cherish being a soft and available dad. One love, to healing and family.

I am a dad ... of a 4 year old son ... and i do all those things I saw in the illustrations with him, even brush his hair for really hours, while he is allowed tocwatch tv, cause he has afro curls
The demon drink makes it hard to remember the happy moments. My dad has his good and bad moments but like all lovers of drink the bad out weight the good. But I still find it hard no to love him
Looking at these reminds me of how fast that phase of my children's lives went by. My daughter is a teen now, and things are difficult. But no matter the trouble or anger that arises, there is a solid foundation of love that we stand on, and we always find our way back to. I know that that's because of the quality time we spent together all her life, and because of the loving relationship we built together. I have every card and gift my daughter ever made for me, and they are my most priceless treasures. It goes by so fast, and it's often hard, but the rewards are immeasurable as they grow up into young adults. So don't waste a minute of your time with them when they're growing up, and give them all of your heart every day of their lives. You'll never regret it.
i really dont know, but how should every dad feel whos small? cant a dad be tired? i gives a picture od a dad who always be a hero in space, probabaly he wants to beeee but also he also has to eat sometimes somethings .. its a nice story, but's still a picture story, and i think of a busy situation, I KNOW SOMETHING REALLY BUSY ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... in this moment: also children can be patient ;)
My Dad was my rock. The best times in my growing up was times spent together. This cartoon was my Dad. He play with me. He would take me and my friends to outing. He always made time for me. I had a mom but she never like to do anything with her other then drag me to her social events. I miss my BFF.
I'm really proud and happy to be this kind of dad to my little girl. :-)
The moment I arrive home, she greets me by singing loud, just around me the entire time I am home, until I go to bed, sleeps with me several times during the night, she is my bee, always around me, makes me feel the best, says goodbyes, kisses me many times, today she walked me back to the bed to sleep with her again and then told me to go to office, the same goes for the bigger one, can't hold herself away without hugging and kissing me... these are my 3 little princesses, this post is nothing compared to how I feel with them... but good effort definitely, perhaps from the girl's perspective.... Trust me, Dad's are going missing out big time than your daughter if you are any less....
I never had a dad like any of these pictures, in fact, I had the polar opposite. That said, I am a new dad now to a gorgeous little girl, and I vow to do each any every one of these things, and many, many more. I vow to be the dad that I never had.
When my dad were traveling we close all the doors and lock it good When I start to travel he were always my best advisor My dad were better and still I knew that when I start to understand that he is enjoying saying no for me to any stupid stuff I wanted I wish to travel with the time back to make him enjoy more #thanks_dad
It breaks my heart that so many of us never had a father like the one in these pictures. I was blessed to have this kind of father for our daughter, he was, and still is the most loving and giving , protective., Daddy a girl can have! She calls us almost everyday. She thanks us for giving her so many opportunities to be successful in life! We are all so blessed to have each other! ❤️
I was blessed, no my Daddy didn't braid my hair or even play with me. He worked his tail end of to feed 11 children, but he kissed me good night every night and told me he loved me and that was enough for me. This is beautiful.
To all you women who grew up without a daddy... or who were single mothers so your children missed out on dads like this... consider this... MOST men *WANT* ... DESPERATELY WANT... to be dads like this... but evil horrible selfish women drive them away. 99% of the time, if your dad wasn't around, it's because your mom was a total c**t to him and didn't feel it was her job to compromise anything to allow him to be the man he wanted to be. Think about it.
I had a wonderful dad. He learnt me everithing about live. He was a beautiful human beiing. But I had a jalouse mother, she kept trying to make him bealive a was a bad girl by lying about my behaviour. He died at 57 when I was pragned from his first grandschild! I miss him very much. Now I am 64. I some time like to think through him mind for a solution at some of my problems in live. Thank my dad for caring.
My dad was an amazing and very beautiful man. He learnt me everithing about live, but I had a jalouse mother rather sick , so sche trieded to keep him from education . He died when he was 57. I am now 64 and through his beiing I get the stronght for problem resolution. He was a very in telligent and graet human beeing also for my two brothers. I miss him!
Every clip took me back to those days when my daughter was small when I did had all these roles to play. Thanks a lot.
I love being a dad to a beautiful little girl. No matter how hard it can be, it always seems worth it.
i strive hard to be this dad. and I'd love to get a print or two of these to hand on my daughters bedroom wall :-)
I'd love to know how i can order a print of one or more of these....
This is me and my daughter, frame by frame. Thank you so much for sharing!
And of course the comment section is about people whining about their child's father or how their father wasn't around.
I wish it had more illustrations, never wanted the story to be finished. It's so touchy. Father is so big yet cute and daughter is so small yet cute like princess.
This reminds me of me and my Emma. The most important and loving beautiful little princess.
So true! Even that illustration of sleeping, I used to sneak into his bed on his afternoon naps and fall asleep beside him because it was cosy. How my dad carried me and sent me to bed, how I always occupied his tummy right up until I was 9 years old where I could sit on his lap anymore and held his hand all the way till he passed on at 75 years of age. He was all that the artist illustrated and more! How heartwarming this is!
As a dad this resonates with me. The child that my wife sees in me, allows me to be carefree with my daughter. I am my daughters rock, I grow her confidence in the gardens that we play and walk, hand in hand. To all the dad's out there,being dad's, g old on you. Keep our daughters growing tears and smiles and all
My wife said this reminds her of me and my daughter. I couldn't think of a better compliment.
my dad was like that and even more than it, he loved me more than anything in this world... he left this world because of cancer when I was ten yrs old. But I'm happy I experienced wonderful childhood with my father always by my side and I i will always carry these memories in my heart. I love you dad!
Lovely post ... feels like made for me & my daughter... she made me a more sensible & responsible & playful & happy guy which I never knew that I could be ... but since she is born every day is so meaningful
this is about good father's not poor father's . leave your negative comments elsewhere. not all father's are the same
The Mother of my daughter tried to prevent me being involved in her life, and left me off the birth certificate. I took her to court, and after an expensive 10 month battle I had my name added to the birth certificate and was granted weekend access. These delightful illustrations depict the way that I hope my daughter views me; I am so blessed to have her in my life.

I now have the pleasure of spending every weekend with my daughter and these delightful illustrations reflect the Daddy I try to be for my precious child.
*sigh* My dad was like this...up until the moment he decided to walk away, which made things harder to accept. :( Sometimes I wish he became an a*****e instead, just so it would be justifiable and easier to accept.
My dad treats me like a gem that he honestly thinks that i should never get married and that only he can protect me from everuthing bad and evil. He said 'darling, dont worry daddys here and i will make sure u will have a happy life whether im dead or alive'. I am still stunned over that advice!
I am so sorry for those who have not experienced the love of a Dad as shown in this pics....I was so blessed to have a father like that and i am trying to be the same to my daughters...
As moving as I found this article, the most powerful moment for me was seeing the following interaction below... Screen-Sho...4c-png.jpg

This artwork is wonderful. Do you know if the artist has done something similar for "Moms and their little girls"?
Wow, it's like the artist knew how my dad is like. Such happy memories for me. I'm trully grateful.
There are Dads and Fathers. Dad's do the above. Fathers donate sperm.
I could appreciate the sentiment, but these examples weren't remotely like my own life and upbringing. The pictures are beautiful but examples heavily stereotyped, the same kind of examples you might see in a TV show, but who are these people? This is an idealized dream that applies to almost no one except maybe someone born in a white family in America/Canada to a dad who travels a lot but still tries to stay involved and love his kid - again, a very narrow subset of the population.
Just because it was not your experience, does not mean it applies to almost no one. Unless you happen to be in everyone's home! Lots of men I know are exactly like this! My beloved Dad...as well.
Load More Replies...In real life for dads. it is not that funny as on illustrations. Its the most serious and responcible Job in the world.
Despite how heart warming this looks, I prefer 0 kids. Nice art style though and consistent characters - perfect for a graphic novel.
I feel so sorry for all you going ladies. You can have that relationship you want and need with the best Father in the whole world! Jesus is His name. Ask Him in to your heart and never feel or be alone again. Blessings
