Since my wife died I've been losted the only thing that has kept me on the ground is my three year old daughter. she is eveerything to me, her sweet smile, loong curly dark brown hair, blue eyes just like her mother's. The way she say Daddy.

I'm laying in bedd with my eyes close at 8:00 in morning. i hear.

"Daddy" Ali said running down the hallway

I hear her come into my room trying ti be quite,

"Daddy, Daddy wake up." she poked me.

"Daddy?"

I roared and reached and grabbed her, and raised her above my head. she was laughing so hard. I put her down next to me and started ticking her.

"Daddy.....stop it....daddy" she said in between laughs

"Daddy"

I stopped and looked down at her with a smile, she looked up at me with her blue still laughing.

"Okay, sweetie you want something to eat?"

"yeah"

"OKay, lets go" I said picking her up.

"Daddy, can i help you cook?"

"yeah baby girl"

We were sitting at the table in the living room watching cartoon eating.

"Daddy, I'm done" she said

"okay" I said getting her plate and mine and taking it out to the sink.
