Dalia had left the house before Tobi had woken up, leaving me a few minutes alone in the kitchen with a cup of coffee. I stood there, staring out the window, thinking about how difficult it was to let Dalia go. Every day it became harder.

I try not to analyze my feelings too closely too often. I always felt it did more bad than good. All that mattered was I liked being with Dalia and Tobi did too. Watching them together, and seeing how happy Tobi could be with another adult, changed my perspective. I was thinking about the future and it was becoming impossible to imagine without Dalia in it.

She’d become just as important to me as Tobi, just as integral in my life. It was all the things she did for us, the feelings I had when she was around. I was experiencing emotions that were brand new to me. It was Tobi’s excited face whenever she saw Dalia, her squeals of laughter and how she lifted her arms high for Dalia to pick her up and hold her. It was the mutual love I’d see on their faces that warmed my own heart.

I didn’t want a future without her.

Shaking my head, I took a sip of coffee. It was strong and dark, just how I liked it. I heard Tobi’s feet padding down the hall and I smiled as she ran into the kitchen, arms open for a hug. I sat my coffee down and picked her up, snuggling her.

“Daddy,” she said. I breathed deep her special baby scent and closed my eyes. I could imagine Dalia here, getting breakfast together, coming in for a group hug, packing lunch for the picnic. It was such a simple picture but it was amazing.

I wanted that.

“Let’s get ready for the day, hmm?” I asked Tobi. She nodded against my shoulder. “Pancakes or waffles?” She grinned.

“Waffles!” she squealed as she wiggled from my arms and ran towards the bench seat in the kitchen window. No matter what, our Saturday tradition continued.
