Her faviorite dress tied with a bow today was daddys day at school and she couldnt wait to go though her mommy tried to tell her that she should stay home why the kids might not understand if she went to school alone but she was not afraid she knew just what to say what to tell her classmates of why he wasnt there today but her mother worried for her to face the day alone and that was why onve again she tried to keep her daughter home but the little girl went to school eager to tell them all about a dad she never sees and a dad that never calls There along the wall in back for everyone to meet children squirming impatiently in their seats one by one the teacher called a student from the class to introduce their daddy as seconds slowly passed at last the teacher called her name everyone turned to star each of them looking for a man who wasnt there 'where is your daddy at"' she heard a boy call out :she probly dosent have one' another dare to say and from somewere near the back a daddy says 'looks like another dead beat dad to busy to waste his day' the words didnt offend her as she smiled up at her mom and looked back at her teacher who told her to go on and with hands behind her back slowly she began to speak and out from the mouth of a child came words incredibly unique 'my daddy couldntbe here since he lves so far away but i know he wishes he could be here since this is such a special day and evan though he couldnt be here i want you to know all about my daddy who loved me so he loved to tell me stories he tought me to ride my bike he surprised me with pink roses and tought me to fly a kite we used to share fudge sundaes and ice cream in a cone and though you can not see him im not standing here alone cause my daddys always with me even though we are apart cause he told me hell forever be in my heart' and with that her little hand reached up and lay across her chest feeling her own heartbeat beneath her dress from somewere in the crowd of dads her mother stood in tears proudly watching her daughter who was beyound her years for she stood up for the love of a man not in her life doing what was right and she dropped her hand back down staring straight into the crowd she finished with a voice so soft but its message clear and loud 'i love my daddy very much hes my shining star and if he could be here he would but heavens just to far you see he was a fireman and died this past year when airplanes hit the towers and tought americans how to fear but sometimes when i close my eyes its like he never went away' and then she closed her eayse and saw him there that day and to her mothers amazemeant she witnessed with surprise a room full of daddies and children all starting to close their eyes who knows what they say before them who knows what they felt inside perhaps for merlely a second they saw him at her side 'i now your with me daddy' to the silence she caled out and what happeded next made believers of those once filled with dobt not one in that room could explainit for their eyes had been closed but there on the desk beside her was a fragrant long steamed pink rose and a child was blessed for a moment by the love of her shinning star and given the gift of beleving that heaven is never to far
