ribbons tied onto pigtails
a little girl on daddy's lap
mischief in the next room
her first word
Three years without...
kissing skinned knees
park days and play dates
the excitement of Christmas morning
making pink birthday cakes
her first step
Three years without...
the sound of giggles
a princess on Halloween
her picture on the wall
mommy-daughter days
her first cry
Three years without...
a little girl trying to walk in daddies shoes
dolls and tea parties
her tiny hand in mine
daddies little friend
her first smile
Three years without...
my sweet little angel
