we bought daddy a birthday present today. a sort of surprise, not really a surprise, birthday present. at dinner, little l starts to say, 'daddy, we got you a ----'
'lucy!' i must have said it a little too sharply because she splutters, 'but i just want to tell daddy..' she can't finish because her little mouth starts quivering, then drooping, and a stream of heartbroken tears gushes out. we both rush to comfort, but i can't tell if it's her tears or mine dripping down my face.
may you always have such a sweet and tender spirit. may you always want to tell your daddy everything and anything in your gentle, loving little heart.
Awww... That's sweet and heartbreaking! I know the feeling. :(
