Came home from work this morning, and kitten and I left immediately to go to the store and get some breakfast and some minor groceries. We spent most of the morning together, talking and laughing and holding hands. No phones, I kept them in my pocket in case the school needed to call us about our son. We had fun just walking around and then we went for breakfast. After we got home and out groceries away, doorbell rings and I see a UPS driver walking away. There's a package outside. I bring it inside and open it and walk towards my kitten holding her first stuffie. The look on her face was breathtaking, a mixture of anticipation, love, and excitement. She was so happy that it made me grin like a fool as well, watching her light up like that. Being able to provide her with a stress free (or as stress free as I can make it) environment has made her happy, which has made me happy. She hasn't been feeling well today, so she settled in for a nap with her new stuffie while I went and showered and got ready for bed myself, gotta go back to work again tonight...I kissed her on the cheek, tucked her in, and as I turned to walk away, she murmured "thank you, Daddy" with such an expression of contentment and peace on her face that I had to go and kiss her again. I cannot believe how much our relationship and happiness has changed in such a short time. She means the world to me, and I will do anything for my kitten.
