This sweet little muffin in my arms was blessing number three.
Lily had fallen asleep and he took her from me but remained sitting by me.
He was an amazing father. He worked as hard, if not harder, than he did when we were in school and I still reveled in the touch of his calloused hands.
I looked at him holding her and the tears began again. It seemed like they had been flowing all day.
I touched her face and it was as soft as down. She nestled closer into her Daddy’s chest and sighed. Like me, she had found her home in his arms.
I looked back to him and he was already looking at me.
“I love you, J,” he said, and all I saw was the man who saved me from myself, who saved me from a life filled with hell and showed me pieces of heaven. Who held a broken soul and mended the cracks with love.
“I love you more. Remember that.”
