She washed the breakfast plate off while thinking back on the events of the past 12 hours. And her conclusion was that this was exactly where she wanted to be. But how she arrived at that conclusion was a journey.
Last night might’ve been one of the most wonderful nights of her life, but for reasons that made the word wonderful seem strange in this context. It wasn’t for the sex or the fantasies or the eventual euphoria she felt. But rather, that she had a series of nightmares which kept waking her up. It put a damper on that Friday night and was no way to start a weekend with her Daddy.
But though the memories of last night were horrible, it was the constant care her Daddy gave her that enabled her to get through it and to get at least some rest in the abbreviated naps she would take in his arms – each one ending with another startling nightmare which jolted her awake.
Her Daddy had just finished a 60-hour work week, and despite his exhausted state, bathed her of the cold sweat she initial awoke in, bottle fed her and held her in his arms so she would feel the safety & comfort she needed to try to sleep again.
And now on this Saturday morning, she washed off the breakfast plate he had made blueberry pancakes on – her favorite breakfast food. She smiled brightly behind her pacifier, hearing her Daddy’s snoring from the living room. And as her thoughts returned to reflections, she realized that he had sacrificed much needed sleep to guide her through a night of fear and helplessness that crushed her little heart.
She placed the plate in the sink and returned to her Daddy in the living room, curling up next to him and pulling an afghan blanket over both of them. She nestled up against his chest and, though fast-asleep, he wrapped his arms around her and enveloped her frame.
Only the golden heart of a Daddy would’ve cared so much as to give her all he had to make her feel better. And spending a lifetime with someone like that was definitely where she wanted to be.
