I saw her dad smiling really big

One of the things that touches me is when young fathers enjoy watching their little daughters play! Maybe because my first born is a girl. Maybe because the whole Tjeko idea is born out of the frustration I felt of not being able to give her a place to play. Maybe because little girls just do something to big men!

I remember last summer watching this father really enjoy watching his daughter play! He was taken by the moment - you could just see it. All his manliness sort of melted. Not sure who he was - and I really didn't care. This are the moments that make me realize: there is a need for places like Tjeko. A place where you can build memories for a lifetime. I love doing that with my daughter. I love seeing other fathers do that with their daughters.
By the way - I also enjoy watching moms with their daughters, or dads with their sons... this moment was just about a dad loving to see his daughter play!
