“You want me to get your grandmother?” He asked.
I rubbed my chin and pretended to be thinking really hard before jovially saying, “No, I think you’ll do Daddy.”
I got up and opened the armoire.
“Wow!” he exclaimed when he saw all the diapers and GoodNites.
“Yeah, Mom just bought a bunch right before…” I started to say but couldn’t finish because I was going to say right before John died.
Daddy Phil then did something that caught me totally by surprise. He swept me into his arms and hugged me for a very long time. He didn’t let me go until he was sure that I’d got all my tears out.
