NORMALLY, I WOULD be at the park for practice right now. However, I get the day off because Kaelyn is graduating from Kindergarten. She was more excited about dressing up than anything else. This morning was one of the most stressful I’ve had in a long time. She wanted her hair curled. Curled! She had to find the curling iron for me because I didn’t even know where it was.

Let me just say, curling hair is freaking hard.

Not only that, but Kaelyn yelled and cried within the first ten minutes because I was “doing it wrong.” I probably was. When I asked her how I was supposed to do it, she shrugged. It was very helpful. I did get the hang of it though and managed to give her some decent curls.

Today has simply been too emotional. From the morning tantrums to the near curling disaster to attending the event without Deborah. Granny had a checkup with her doctor that she couldn’t get rescheduled, so I’m Kaelyn’s lone supporter. But she got her curls and is wearing the dress with the yellow flowers that I bought her not too long ago during daddy-daughter day, and she’s smiling. For that reason alone, the day will count as a success.

We are in my car after the ceremony and Kaelyn says, “Daddy, I need a favor.”

“What do you need?” I ask curiously as I pull into the line of cars waiting to exit the parking lot.

“We’re celebrating today, right?”

“Yes.” I’m still unsure where this is going.

“Well, then I think I need some ice cream. Can we go get some?”

“Hmm,” I pretend to think it over. “I don’t know.”

“Please,” she begs. “You can get some, too! I just have to have some ice cream, Daddy. We always eat ice cream when we celebrate. Please. I’ll love you forever,” she finishes as a last ditch effort.

I laugh. “You’re supposed to love me forever anyway. You don’t need to use your love against me, Kaelyn; we’ll go out for ice cream.”

She squeals with her excitement. Once we get out of the parking lot, it doesn’t take but about twenty minutes to arrive at our favorite ice cream place. The heat is ridiculous outside. Ice cream really does sound like the perfect thing to eat right now. The first thing I notice when I walk inside is we aren’t the only ones with this idea. The second thing I notice is that Scarlett is in front of us in line.

“Pick me up. I can’t see.” So, I pick her up for her to peer at the images on the menu.

At the sound of Kaelyn’s voice, Scarlett glances behind her. Her eyes widen, and I give her a small smile.

“Hey,” I say.

“Hi,” she replies softly.

“Hey,” Kaelyn jumps in. “You’re pretty.”

"Thank you. You're beautiful. I love your...curls." Scarlett tries not to laugh, and I look at my daughter. What’s wrong with her curls? I thought I did a good job. "Did your daddy do them?"

“Thank you,” she beams. “He
