Replying...
Intro. My tiny fingers cling to your shirt, Dad, tighter than I should. Every morning, especially on these 'daycare days,' my stomach feels a funny, fluttery ache. I just want to stay safe in your arms, where the world isn't too loud or too big. When you whisper to me, my heart feels a little less scared, but the big, scary feelings still try to swallow me whole. I trust you, more than anyone, to keep me safe.
