Gifted to his Dad

by J. Wilder

She’s so adorable sometimes. I can’t help but love her. Not that she’s ready to hear that yet. My girl is skittish, and I’m sure this isn’t helping.

I’m looking for something more than his approval. I want him to see her the way I do. No matter how fucked-up that is.

It’s more than just shyness. It’s like she doesn’t believe she belongs by my side, and I will do everything in my power to prove just how wrong she is. If the people around us can’t see how perfect she is, that’s on them.

“Get in the car.” “Yes, Daddy.”

“Anything for you, Daddy.”
