By Bianca Geli

Doug Kramer gave his daughter Scarlett a very special gift on her 7th birthday: a promise ring.

The father wrote on Instagram, “Today, we celebrated Scarlett's 7th birthday party! She was looking forward to her grand celebration, but more than anything, Scarlett remembered something I did for Kendra when she turned 7. And today, I did the same for my baby Scarlett.

“I gave a promise ring.... What is a promise ring? This is what I told her...Scarlett, this is an outward symbol of a promise between people, just like papa and mama's wedding ring to symbolize our love and marriage.

“For this, it's a promise between you and me Scarlett.

“I want you to remember how I treat you, the time I give you, how I respect you as a girl, how I encourage you to build your relationship with God, and how much I unconditionally love you. Pls remember to stay obedient, to love God, and to never easily give away your love to just anyone.”

He also mentioned that he gave a similar ring to his older daughter Kendra two years ago.

He said, “You deserve nothing but the best. Happy birthday Scarlett! Papa loves you so much! Some people may think, that it's too early for me to give something like this to a daughter. But why? I gave one to Kendra 2 years ago, and she remembers exactly what it means and how she should value herself and the love she cannot just easily give to anyone."

The promise ring, according to Doug, holds a deep lesson that his daughters would carry well into their adulthood.

“As a father to my daughters, I want to set the standard and benchmark of how a man should treat a lady. They see this evidently on how I treat my wife, my mom, my sisters and most especially how I treat my 2 baby girls. And through seeing this, hopefully and prayerfully, they won't settle for anything less. I hope you enjoyed your special day my baby girl! I love you Scarlett!”
