She was so beautiful, in my eyes. She is only seven years old yet she acts so grown up at times. She has brown hair, dark eyes, a tiny body and a large heart. She is so precious and sweet and she is so in love with me. Whenever I enter a room, visit her before bed, or just hug her, she lights up, smiling and giggly. She always loves to sit in my lap and be tickled, or just held in my big arms. Yes, my daughter loved me as if I made the world spin and caused the sun and the moon to rise. But, I really didn't know how much she loved me, until one fateful night. That was the night that changed our relationship forever, it was a night that caused my love for my daughter to grow to unimaginable heights.

On a Friday night, I was sitting in my bed, reading a big, thick book, trying to eventually doze off after a hard day's work. Well, I started to drift when I heard a soft, little voice in my doorway. I looked up and saw my sweet angel looking at me and smiling. She was wearing one of my old oversized T-shirts along with a pair of little pink panties, which covered her little bottom. She was so beautiful. I asked, "Honey, what are you doing here?"
