Being a father is an incredible experience.
When you have your first child, you are often not much more than a child still yourself. You have to navigate parenthood while still trying to navigate the world.
Of course, you may feel like you have a lot of life figured out by the time you have a child. But being a father is still something completely new and challenging.
One father decided that he wasn’t going to waste a single second of time with his daughter.
From her very first moments on this earth until the day that she got married, he made sure to dance with her.
Thankfully, he filmed them all.
It started over 3 decades ago.
The video starts back in 1990 when his daughter was less than a year old. He holds her in his arms so sweetly and dances around the living room with her.
From then on, her father made sure to record a dance with his daughter every year or every couple of years.
He knew that the time would fly.
As the video plays, you watch this little baby grow into a beautiful young woman. Her dad is there with her every step of the way, quite literally teaching her the steps.
Although these are just dance steps, you can be sure that he was teaching her the steps of life as well.
All this comes while he is learning to steps of fatherhood himself.
Their bond only grew stronger.
As the young girl grows older, she seems just as excited to dance with her dad as she did as a little girl.
A love that only grows.
One of the hardest things as a parent is to maintain an open and solid relationship with your children as they age.
Of course, there will be bumps in the road and you won’t always see eye to eye. But if you love your children, they will always love you in return.
This lucky girl’s father used dance as a way to unite them throughout all the years of growth and challenges.
No matter what was going on in each of their lives, they always had each other and they could always dance.
Then came the wedding day.
The video concludes with this father dancing with his daughter on her wedding day. This is one of the most special moments that a father can have with his daughter.
Although he is giving her away to her new husband, the two of them will always share a deep bond.
As the father and daughter are dancing, family and friends look on, no doubt having to wipe away tears.
The camera then pans over to a television screen that is playing through all the moments that these two danced together throughout their life.
A tear-jerking moment for all.
