"Daddy?"
He looks at his little girl with tears in his eyes.
"Yes Angel?"
She sighed before taking a deep breath.
"I'm scared dad."
He nodded.
"I'm scared too Princess, but everything will be fine."
"How do you know dad?"
He smiled softly before taking her hand in his.
"I know because you have the best doctors working on you and you have me and all your uncles out here waiting for you and we are all sure this will work. Okay?"
"Okay daddy."
He brushed her hair back and sighed.
"It's okay to sleep now princess. When you wake up I'll be right here waiting for you, okay."
She nodded as her lids closed softly as the nurse put a breathing mask on her.
"I love you daddy."
He sniffled.
"I love you too angel, so much."
And like that, she was under anesthesia and was sleeping while being whisked away by nurses and he was left alone with his heart heavy.
It better work.
