“Alright, but only this one more time.”

Her smile grows larger. She realizes that she has won, “I can’t hear you,” she whispers into my ear.

I increase the volume ever so slightly and sing. “Rock a bye, and good night,” she lays her head on my shoulder and sighs.

“Thanks, Daddy,” she says softly and closes her eyes.
