Daddy, daddy, look the tooth fairy came and he left me two whole dollars!

Wow wee, what are you going to spend with it? Maybe you could buy a book or something that you won’t grow out of.

Daddy, daddy, oh please come and watch me play on the monkey bars!

I’m right here darling, I’m watching you now.

Daddy, daddy, let’s go collect seashells on the beach, you have to remember to bring the bags coz I’m going to collect so many!

Why yes darling, I’ve got the bags and we are ready to rock and roll.

Let’s dip our feet in the shore, the best shells are found still in the water.

But you must be careful some shells have crabs living in them.

Daddy, daddy, when are we going fishing? I am so excited I just can’t wait!

Tomorrow morning, we have to leave early because that’s when the fish are all out.

Why’s that daddy?

Well dear, it is the quietest time of day, just when the dawn is breaking the fish come out to play.

Look daddy, I caught a big fish! What will we do with it?

We will cook it up fresh tonight for dinner, you’ll see the best fish is one that is caught that very day.

Daddy, daddy, can you carry me? My legs are tired and I wanna sit on your shoulders.

Okay dear, come here and you can see the world from high up on my shoulders.

Daddy, daddy, will you read me a bedtime story?

Sure dear, you can pick the book and get into bed, I’ll be right in.

Daddy, daddy, the story isn’t finished why are you sleeping?

Daddy had a big day at work and he worked very hard, sometimes he nods off.

But here let us finish the story so we can both go and have sweet dreams.

Daddy, daddy, I love you so much.

You’re big and strong and teach me so much. You’re the best daddy in the whole wide world.

Why thank you dear, daddy loves you very much, even when you grow up big and strong, I will always be there for you.

And even when I’m not on earth anymore, I need you to remember these memories that you hold and cherish.

I won’t be around forever but you must know I will forever be in your heart
