From the book Hurry Home
Excerpt
A
Dad’s Promise
“Hey, baby
girl. It’s okay,” I whisper as I pick my angel up out of the crib. “Daddy’s
here, and I’m never gonna let anyone hurt you. Shh!” I coo as I sway her in my
arms. “You’re okay.” I carry her over to the rocking chair Danika bought for
nights like this and slide down into it. She starts to quiet down as I gently
rock her back and forth. “Daddy will always be here for you, baby girl. Never
forget that. I love you more than anything else in this world.” I kiss her on
the head and continue to rock her as she smiles up at me.
That smile is
the only thing that has gotten me through this last week. Thoughts of my baby
girl and her smile, so much like her mother’s, were what moved me out of that
alley that night. I wanted nothing more than to die there, but Emmalyn needed
me. I’m the only thing she has left. I have to be there for her. I know it’s
that tiny smile that will get me through tomorrow morning.
