He walked up, dressed professionally in a black suit, shiny polished dress shoes and red tie, unaware that anyone was paying him any attention. He reached for the phone and flipped it open to silence the ring, “Yeah babe, yes. I will be home for dinner. She’s with me now… Yup, just got off work a bit early.” He snapped the phone shut and clung to a little girl’s hand whisking her into his arms. It was as if it was just the two of them at the crowded park on this day. The girl giggled in delight as her pink ribbon flittered in the wind while she was spun. Her polka dot dress twirled in circles as he twisted this way and that way and then threw her into the air. The little girl was squealing in delight as she looked down at this man who locked eyes with her in Fatherly adoration. He gently set her on the ground and strode slowly into the wind as the girl pushed her legs as fast as they would go toward the slide hand in hand. Sunshine beaming down on the fresh cut green grass and large oak trees surrounding the park made for a picture perfect scene. As they reached the slide he grabbed her by the waste and gently set her on the top of the slide. “Now wait here Lyla, I’m going to the bottom of the slide to catch you!” He dashed around and was just in time to see the adorable blonde with bright green eyes and a huge smile coming speeding down towards him. He spread his arms wide and scooped her into his arms squeezing her before he set her back onto the soft grass. “Lyla mama is waiting for us to go to dinner now.” The Father grabbed the delightful girl’s delicate finger and smiled down at her in love and they headed towards the parking lot. It was obvious that this little girl had her Daddy exactly where he should be, wrapped around her little finger.
