Simple Exchange




There are still times when a simple exchange that’s not even noticed by most can make my heart reel.

It happens when I hear a child say, “Daddy, can I do this?” or “Daddy, will you hold me?” or “Daddy, can I go outside?” or “Daddy, I love you” and then I hear the dad’s reply.

Simple, everyday exchanges between a father and a child...

...remind me yet again that for my children,

there will never be another simple, everyday exchange.

They will never get to say "Daddy" again.
