Ava told me about a dream she had last night.  She said that she dreamed that her Lolo (My Daddy) came back.  And that all her cousins were there, and me, and that she was so happy he was back.  

I was not expecting that, but it made my heart both sing and hurt a little.

I told her that I miss My Daddy very much, but that I’m so happy that she got to see him in her dream.  Her grin when I told her that will be etched in my brain forever.  And I’m so grateful for it.
