At the daycare the next day, Emilie told me about how her dad called last night.
“ I asked him how many dragons he had slayed!” she said.
“how many?” I giggled
“he said too many to count.” She said “I also asked him how many princesses he had saved. He said hes saving me and that’s all that matters.” I smiled at her. “ but, I asked him to save you miss gabby”
“awe, that’s nice of you,” I said “ but I have a knight too. My boyfriend is a knight just like your daddy.”
“do you ever miss him? cause I miss my daddy a lot.” She said. I could hear pain in her voice. I hated knowing that Emilie is feeling the same way I did when I was little and didn’t have my dad to pick me up when I fell.
“yes, all the time.” I told her.
“do you think they miss us?” she asked
‘im sure your daddy misses you more than you miss him.” I said hugging her.
“miss gabby?” she looked up at me “ with my daddy being so far away, how would he save me if something were to happen?” it was a good question, my dad was never there for me.
“don’t worry, im here. And your mommy is here.” I said.
“but you guys aren’t my knight” she said.
