I Loved Her First

The song I loved her First by Heartland, to me helps to describe Jeannette and Rex's relationship. This song is about a father finding it hard to give his daughter away when she is getting married. During the scene where Jeannette is getting ready to leave Welch and go to New York, Rex goes to see her off. To me, this says something since he did not go to see Lori off. Rex was very protective of Jeannette, and before she left, he gave her his knife with the blue handle, and this is the knife he carried everywhere. When Jeannette was going to college, Rex was so proud of her, he even paid the $1,000 that she was unable to come up wtih for her last year of tuition. Rex was definitely the first one to love his daughter, and through The Glass Castle, we were able to see how much he loved her.
