 It was a huge moment for actor and film producer Kirk Cameron to take his daughters to their high school prom. As happy as he is to see his daughters grow up so well, he cannot help but feel a pang of sadness that their childhood days passed by so quickly.

"I have two daughters at the dance tonight. They look so beautiful in their dresses, their hair, their makeup, absolutely beautiful. My two little girls are now beautiful young women and I could hardly believe it," he said on his Facebook video page.

Cameron is certain that he is just going to "blink," and when he opens his eyes again, he will be dancing to "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle during his daughters' weddings. By then, he will be "crying my eyes out while wondering where all the time went."

The "Growing Pains" star feels grateful that he got to be a hands-on dad to his daughters.

He even shared some tips to other parents on how to raise their kids.

"I wanted to take this minute to encourage you, moms and dads, love your kids. Spend all the time you can pouring into them because right now my wife and I are seeing the fruit from all the seeds we've been planting for all these years. It is so worth it," he said.

Cameron and his wife Chelsea Noble are known for homeschooling their kids, and this is why someone questioned the actor how his daughters got to attend prom even if they do not attend Christian private school or public school with other kids.

"We are part of a homeschooling family network. Hundreds of families get together for a beautiful soirée this time of year, complete with tuxedos and beautiful gowns," Cameron explained. "If you like the idea, I bet you could bring some families together and create an evening similar for your kids!"
