I’m sleeping, quite soundly in my opinion, dreaming of a flower filled field with a blue sky…
Wham!! Something hits me in the face and I jolt up from my peaceful slumber. And hit my head on an wooden eave.
“What was that!!!” I roar, holding my throbbing skull. ’ Owwwwwww!’ A small boy holding a destroyed pillow in his tiny hands. His large doe brown eyes stare up innocently at me. I can feel my face softening as tears start to form in his eyes. ‘Dang it, I’ve scared him…’ I climb out of my bed and kneel down in front of him, placing my hands on his slight shoulders.
“Jazz…I’m-I’m sorry for yelling at you, I didn’t mean too…” I say softly. He sniffles, lifting his head up towards me. His bottom lip is poked out in a small pout.
“I’m sowwy too Daddy.” I smile, gently taking him into my arms.
“Let me take a shower and we’ll make breakfast okay?” He nods, a broad smile gracing his face and he runs out of the room. I straighten up and stretch as he returns.
“Love you Daddy.”
“Love you to Jazzy.”
