“It’s okay, Princess,” her Daddy said. “It was only a dream.”
For whatever reason, his BabyGirl kept having nightmares when she got home from work and took her afternoon nap. These nightmares never came at night, just during her naps. Invariably, she would wake up a sobbing, upset little girl. Sometimes, she made such a mess of herself that he had to put her straight in the bath tub, even before dinner had happened.
For a Daddy, seeing his BabyGirl unhappy was worse punishment than death itself. He sooner would’ve cancelled all her future naps than allowed her to have another nightmare. But knowing that her nightmares likely came from her experiences at work each day, he knew the rest of a nap was necessary for her.
So, instead of trying to prevent the nightmares from happening, he simply made certain to be there for her, every time she woke up – to brush away every tear, to wipe her bottom clean, to hold her and to tell her that he loved her.
And inside her little heart, she knew that no matter what her horrible nightmares were about, all she had to do was to wake up and he would be there waiting for her, to take care of her … and then everything would be fine.
