“Hey, beautiful girl,” I say as I look into her two-toned eyes. Eyes like mine. Eyes that Bailey has told me on numerous occasions can cause her to get lost in them.
“Hi, Daddy,” Amari responds, right before she smacks me with a kiss on the cheek.
“Are you having fun with Mommy?”
“Yes, we played Barbies and had a tea party and colored and made cookies!” Her excitement at today’s activities is amazing to see. There’s nothing you can do but smile at her.
Bailey walks up to us, and I pull her to my side with my free arm. Bending down, I place a soft kiss on her lips.
“Hey, angel. I heard you’ve been busy today.”
She laughs at that and tickles Amari on her side, bringing out another round of giggles.
“Yes, we have. She’s kept me on my toes all day.” There’s affection in her voice, and I know she wouldn’t have it any other way. My angel will do anything for Amari. She spoils her rotten, but I can’t really complain, because I do the same thing.
Her name, Amari, means miracle, and I know that’s just what she is. She’s our miracle sent down to us from God. We both like to think that Anna, which happens to be Amari’s middle name, also had something to do with it.
“Dinner’s ready. Are you hungry?” Bailey asks.
“Starving,” I tell her.
“Alright, come on, munchkin. Let’s go get cleaned up for dinner.” Giving me another quick peck, Bailey holds her arms out for Amari to climb into. As I turn to follow, I watch the two most important people in my life. I often ask myself how I got so lucky, but I never find the answer. For whatever reason, someone deemed me worthy enough and led Bailey to my little town, and I’ll cherish and love them with every piece of my heart and soul until the end of time.
When I walk through the sliding glass door, I close and lock it behind me. I make my way toward our bathroom and hear more laughter coming from within. I smile to myself and send my daily thanks to whoever sent me my beautiful angel and miracle.
