Secret Conversations

Daddy has secret conversations with his girl. Conversations I only hear because I eavesdrop over the monitor. Conversations that are writing words onto her heart.

Daddy holds her up to the mirror and tells her to look at how beautiful her brown eyes are, and he calls her his brown-eyed girl.

Daddy tells her that he is proud of her that she kept trying to do the puzzle because he knew she could do it - because she is very, very smart and she should always believe in herself.

Daddy tells her that she is a good and wonderful person - all of the time, not just when she is acting happy or sweet.

Daddy is our hero.
