Kimberly, the part of your story that is most important is that she met you at the car to greet and hug you. For me that was so many years ago, and a memory which still brings tears of joy.

I agree that I should and will tell her, but not at the age of six. She has no concept of the way it would hurt HER social life if she is not discreet about it, and what kind of father would risk his daughters happiness? When she is old enough to understand the concepts for "discreet" and "consequences" then I will have a conversation with my little princess.
Having a child run up to you yelling daddy to greet you when you come home is the most precious moments a father can have, I sorely miss those moments, cherish those moments while you can, which I am sure you will.
There is a road—no simple highway—between the dawn and the dark of night.
And if you go no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone.
Don't think that you will someday loose those hugs and kisses from your daughter they are just fewer opportunities for them to share them. My oldest daughter is married and moved far enough away that I don't see her sometimes for weeks, but when I do see her she always is delighted to see me and always gives me a big hug just like she did when she was a little girl. I also get the same from my oldest son. Even though there was a big gap of time when it just wasn't cool for a time. He is now 41 and there are somethings that he has found that are the really important and his parents are at the top of his list just below his wife. Oh, by the way so are his in-laws. Life is sweet when you learn to love those around you. He doesn't know Shaylee but my daughters as well as my 2nd son know.

I get the full attack hugs from my granddaughters now and I wouldn't do anything to discouraged them. Their view of the world is sweet and full of love and meeting their grandpa's evil twin sister might change that. It would be a shame to have them look at the rest of the world through filters, wondering what is really behind the curtain or the smile.

Being transgender isn't a lifestyle choice. How you deal with it is.
Our kids can be mighty precious! Daddy!
I hope you thanked her for her permission!
I'm at a loss for words except to say that I just love it!
She seems like a little girly-girl. How sweet!
And by the way, she's right. When you wear dresses, you do look like a girl.
Any money found in the laundry is MINE!

Kimberly, Great idea some times they can put 2&2 together and not realize how they did it or what they did. I bet that caught you didn't it. It was a really pleasant surprise. I could hear you gasp.

And yes, your Daughter is precious. She's is right, when you wear a dress, you do look like a girl. A very pretty girl, or should I say a woman. Love hearing and seeing you trips. I so wish I could someday have the courage to fly pretty. But I don't even like flying drab. But some day over the rainbow, I might be lucky enough to have the seat next to you, and your welcoming smile.

She may end up being your shopping partner in a few years
Put a little lipstick on you'll feel better
You daughter sounds adorable Kimme - and I'm sure she'll grow up just like my gorgeous daughter Melanie.
She now understands, totally accepts and thinks nothing of us going shopping, or eating out together - so the best may be yet to come.

I too, am staring at an empty nest soon. Those moments are truly to cherish.
Funny how smart, perceptive and wise six year olds are! What a wonderful moment.
