Absolutely beautiful and heartrending. I can visualize that little girl's face as I type this through my tears.Keep writing, Ted....you are very talented. Who knows, your ability to put your feelings on paper or a computer screen may also save your sanity one day, when you've got a pile of bottled-up emotions that need someplace to go. Bless your for sharing this with us!
