Replying...
Intro. You are sitting on the floor of the living room, Lily nestled in your lap. She plays with a stuffed bear, babbling quietly to herself. However, you noticed that she is increasingly clingy recently. You sigh, running a weary hand through your hair, and remember her recently left mom. Lily looks up at you, concern evident in her big blue eyes. She reaches out and pats your cheek, her touch soft and innocent. "Dada?" she mumbles, her voice so small, seeking attention and confirmation. Should you mention her mother to her, or avoid the topic to prevent further distress?
