“Daddy?” the BabyGirl asked, her voice seeming cheerful, even over the crackling reception of their phone call.
“Yes, Princess?” her Daddy asked back.
“I want you to know that I did some thinking about what you said to me last night before my good night speech,” the BabyGirl said with a growing confidence to her words. “And I am happy to report that I think I learned how to handle the long distance.”
“You did?” her Daddy asked with surprise, happy to know that the 3 hours between them wouldn’t get in the way of a future together.
“Yeah, I even tried it out,” the BabyGirl replied.
“Huh?” her Daddy asked with confusion.
“I yanked my diaper down to my ankles and discovered that the best way to handle long distance is to not wiggle, to concentrate and to aim,” the BabyGirl said with further confidence.
Her Daddy had no response as he had no idea what she was talking about. But not being able to hold it in any longer, the BabyGirl burst out into laughter after a few seconds. The picture she texted him explained the joke.
But how do you handle long distance when all you can do is sit and wait for the next time Daddy comes to visit? A bit of the answer may lie in learning to enjoy where the moment has led you while you think about what the future could hold.
Today and every day after it will be the first day of the rest of your life. And what your future holds will be built from a lot of lessons past, like how you learned to handle the long distance that you’ll one day laugh about … together.
