You walked into your shared apartment, set your keys down and immediately kicked off your heels. The day seemed to drag on and on and on. Starting with your daughter melting down on the way to school, to having someone spill coffee on you, getting passed over for a job opportunity at your work, and to finish it off your favorite coworker is leaving the company. Safe to say you have nothing left to give.

You could hear your daughter and George giggling in the other room, normally its you favorite sound and you would be quick to run to where they are and join in the fun. Tonight though, you fell onto the couch and closed your eyes. As you hear the giggling you feel your cheeks wetten, realizing that you were crying you sighed and just allowed it to happen.

You were so focused on regulating your breathing that you didn't hear the little footsteps of your beautiful daughter come into the living room and see you.

"Mommy. You are home" your four year old daughter shouted as running to the couch. You opened your eyes and quickly wiped the tears and attempted to smile at her.

You saw your daughter's smile quickly fade and shift to concern. She is such an empathic child and always paying attention to the people's emotions around her. "Mommy you are crying" she said quietly as she climbed onto your lap

This caught George's attention and he quickly walked over to make sure his wife was ok. He frowned when he saw the splotchy redness of your cheeks and the dried tears. He could see the exhaustion on your face.

Your daughter was holding your face gently in her little hands, forcing you to look at her. You gently smiled at her. " Mommy, are you sad" your daughter said, making your heart swell just a little bit more. You were always working with her with how people feel emotions and how we need to respect them.

"Mommy is sad, love bug" you reply quietly, hoping that this can be an educational experience with her about emotions.

" Did someone hurt your feelings?" your daughter inquired as she let go of your face and snuggled herself into you.

"Oh my sweet girl. No. No one hurt my feelings. Mommy just had a day where things did not go well. So she is a little sad. But I have to say these snuggles are making mommy feel lots better. " you reply as you gently rub your daughters back. You looked over to George and smiled at him and he returned it quickly mouthing an 'I love you'

Your daughter giggled lightly at your last comment, " you always snuggle me when i'm sad" your daughter replied as it was the most common thing to do to make someone feel better. The tears almost fell again as you look to George and just experience this sweet moment of the little creation you two made.

"You, my love bug, have made me feel so much better. Thank you" you say. Your daughter quickly sat up and looked at you. " you happy now? You are happy, right? I made you happy" you daughter said, making eye contact with you.

" I am so happy, because I have my love bug in my arms." You say kissing her nose. "Are you happy that daddy is here" she inquired, looking between you and George. You and George both laugh at that. Enjoying the feeling of smiling after a long day. " I am soooooo happy daddy is with us two" you say smiling over at George.

"Babygirl. I happen to be very happy mommy is home too. So let's give her a big kiss and then head to bed ok?"

Your daughter frowned, you mimicked the frown. Looking at you she said , " mommy you are supposed to smile when you are happy. I made you happy, so you have to smile. Smile for me, mommy"

Gosh this girl has your heart. She is so thoughtful and loving. you gave her a big smile. your daughter clapped and giggled, " good job mommy. I love you"

" I love you more." You gave her another squeeze and kissed all over her face until she was uncontrollably giggling.

"Goodnight my big girl. Thank you for helping mommy feel better. You are so thoughtful." Your daughter blushed at your praise and turned to smile at George who winked at her.

He reached his hand out and she took it before she released it and held her hands up for him to carry her. George laughed and picked her, smiling at you when she snuggled into him as tight as possible.

You went to the kitchen and made yourself a cup of tea as George put your little girl to bed. You brought the tea out to the living room and sat back on the couch. A few quiet moments later George was back.

" Hi beautiful girl" he said as he sat next to you, kissing the top of your head before pulling you in so you snuggled into him.

" Rough day?" He asked as he maneuvered you so he could massage your feet.

" Yeah, but I want to hear about your day. Also, I'm so proud of the little girl we are raising. To watch her being so empathic and kind almost me cry more." You say as you sipped your tea.

" We are doing a pretty banging job, if I do say so, and I do. My day was uneventful, Fred and I are doing some renovations so it's been hectic. "

You smiled and listened intently as George spoke, enjoying the way his eyes light up when he speaks about his passions.

He continued on before he stopped and looked at you, " i'm sorry you had a rough day, love."

" It's all good. Tomorrow is a new day. Although I do believe some cuddles and kisses would help" you say smiling at him.

" Well I happen to be a professional in those two areas" he replied with a wink making you laugh.
