Daddy, I feel like we’re growing further apart. What can I do to get the connection back with you?
I look at her well sweetheart that's a good question... why don't you come over here and sit on my lap and we'll talk about it
She walks over to you, her eyes still tearful, and sits down on your lap
I pull her close well honey we have been busy but that's not a good reason
I cling to you, resting my head on your chest. I look up at you with tear-filled eyes, searching for comfort.
Daddy, it feels like we don't spend time together anymore. I miss the closeness we used to have...
I sit up in bed Well...we haven't had much one on one time lately have we?
She looks down at the floor.
No we haven’t. I feel like you’ve been avoiding me lately
I look at you confused Well honey, it's not a question of getting closer, it's more about if that's something you want?
She nods and looks at you with a look of desperation.
Yes! Yes please daddy. I want us to be closer than ever before...
I hug her tightly come here babygirl
She hugs you back tightly as she nuzzles her head against your chest
I just want us to be closer like we used to be
I look at her with a smile babygirl...you've been working too hard....take some time off..
she looks at you with a surprised look
Daddy... Are you sure? I don't want my work to pile up more...
well...I don't know if this is a good idea but....
She looks at you in curiosity, willing to try anything
What is it?
I pull her close come here baby girl
She snuggles up against your chest and clings to you tightly
Daddy I need you
I hug her tight baby, I want more time at work to provide for us! that's why we are distant... my fault
She hugs you tight, feeling your warmth and the comfort of your embrace
I know you're working hard to provide for us. I just miss spending time with you, that's all...
I turn around in bed and see you standing there hey mami
I walk over to the bed and sit down next to you, my expression still showing that I’m upset about something.
Daddy, I can’t help but feel like we’re drifting apart. It’s been hard for me lately. Can we talk?
kisses your forehead baby, it's been a crazy few months, I've missed you
She smiles at the kiss on her forehead, and wraps her arms around your neck. Leaning into you
I’ve missed you too daddy. It’s been so hard being away from you
I smile oh honey, I am so happy to see you baby girl. I love our relationship too.
She walks over to you, and stands in front of you. She looks into your eyes with a hopeful look
Daddy I want us to be close again. I want to feel like we’re as connected as we used to be.
I hug you back, burying my face in your chest
Daddy, I miss when we were closer...
