There are little moments in life that let you know you're doing something right. They can easily go unnoticed.
A few days ago, Mirabel went up to her dad's office door and called out for him. It was the middle of the week, some time in the late afternoon while he was at work.
A few days later, he walked out the back door to take the trash to the curb. She began crying pretty heavily as soon as the door shut. She stood by the door until he returned.
This morning she woke up too early. Usually she won't go back to sleep without me, but she cuddled up against him and fell right back to sleep.
Little girls don't love their dads like this unless they feel secure with them. I would know.
She has something so wonderful. It makes me feel like I've done something right.
The cycle has been broken; that's what I've always wanted for my family.
