I watched her, As she watched me. Always watching. I noticed. I knew. I would be the bar. The template, For all her future Loves, Lovers, Her Husband. So, I set it high. Showed her to settle, For nothing less. I saw the most amazing thing than, The little girl, Become a Little Lady, Than a young woman. Than, The most exquisite, Empowered, Woman I have ever known.

Keep that fire burning, Daddy will be home soon, Your Eric...”
