Love of a father
“I wished to understand love. The light it brings, the warmth that is felt. From a dark soul, barren, bitter, and selfish.
The small fluttering of a tiny heartbeat, or the fluttering of an angel’s wings, I was too ignorant to acknowledge.
You came to be, laying my soul bare, exposing all my weaknesses, and revealing all my strengths. My world would never be the same again. More pain than I could endure, more love than I can handle.
An angel granted me the knowledge of love, truest and pure. The light it brings, the warmth that is felt. She is my love, my strength, and I will be forever grateful she chose me to protect her light.”
