You got me at "I got you." He is the only one who ever truly did. Damn, I miss my dad. Ah, beautifully written!

this was such a moving read. i especially enjoyed the imagery evoked, and it brought me to tears. "Daughter, I've got you" holds more than a promise, but a bond so deep it transcends blood. this was beautiful. thank you for the reminder that parenthood should be like this. also, your children are so so blessed.

The image of the "proud peacock" standing beside the "fierce, protective mama bear" made me smile. It captures something every loving parent eventually learns: raising a child is holding on while quietly preparing to let go. The closing line, “Daughter, I’ve got you,” carries a kind of promise that children remember long after the words themselves have faded.

Eliza Davey's avatar

I love that this resonated with you🥰 I can’t imagine letting go but she’s already wanting to do things herself. It is certainly bittersweet.

Eliza, there’s a very clear innocence but depth in your words which seem so deeply appropriate for reflecting on childhood, gorgeous, and Damien a playfulness in yours that will stand the test of time, something both your daughters will enjoy reading at an appropriate time no doubt . Great job 👏
