I smiled at her. "You know kid, I love you. Don't ever forget that. If the time ever comes that you're alone or scared or anything else bad ever happens. don't forget that I love you. Because I do. That's really all one person can do for another."
Her brow wrinkled. She did not understand what I was saying. I suppose I knew she wouldn't because she was so young. But I had to say it. I had to know, for my own peace of mind that I had told her I had done my best.
