Hey Fielding Frank..

The finger? It's only a message if it's the third.

Your daughter? Smile, hug, tickle.. step away. Read how Smileys Person handles his situation with his young children.

It's not about you when the kids are suffering. It's about them.. what does it take, what is appropriate, how is the best way to assure them of your unconditional love and acceptance as a parent, a father, a daddy. As tough as it is, take off the hair shirt of angst and be the dad for your sweet children.

You are safe.
You are love.
Wherever you are is always home for them.

*hugs*
