I'm looking for an idiom which means someone is very dear to me. It could be used instead of the following expression in bold, for example.

I can't let my daughter marry a stranger! I didn't find her on the street! She's my own flesh and blood.

By the expression in bold, I mean my daughter is not like a neglected child. She is too dear to be married off to a stranger.

She's the apple of my eye.
She's my pride and joy.
Or even simply She's my daughter (emphasis on "daughter" rather than "my") could imply all the rest.
