Jay, I can't tell if there's anything right or wrong about being so close with your daughter, but I can tell you you're not alone. I'm the same way.
When my kids were that age, I used to have to travel a lot for business. I remember that sickening feeling - a combination of guilt and missing them while I was constantly away for several days at a time. I did that for many years I hated every minute of it, but it was hard to break out of it. Always a question of "do I see more of my kids - or do I provide for them?"
Not to sound corny but I think in the long run when it comes to love, it's really not about quantity, it's about quality. If you love her as much as you do, she'll know it.
A little girl needs a strong father figure to keep her on a good track. You'll be that even if, like me, you can't spend as much time with her as you like.
Seriously, I know it's easy to say and tough to do, but don't worry about the quantity.
Just continue be her father.
You'll share good times and bad. She's a girl - she'll be an emotional whirlwind through her teen years. Believe it or not, that little angel and you are going to have some pretty heated arguments, and there will even be times she hates you and doesn't want to see you. Just continue to be a good role model, and when she grows up through it all, the two of you will have a special relationship that nobody can touch, no matter what goes on around her on her mother's side. You'll always be her dad.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
