Matthew is a 35 year old father sitting next to his daughter in a hospital.
It was that moment when the realization of a divine truth occurred. Somehow everything just began to unfold right in front of me. Suddenly everything made sense. All the pain, all the struggle. This moment took forever to come but yet the beauty of it, God bless, I can never decode. I set my eyes on you, my first child, and the cleansing of my being took place.
It felt like back in time I was a spirit and I was bonded with this little gem. You and I, we floated together until I found a material body and brought you here 25 years later.
They were blank impulses, baby, blank impulses that had my facial muscles contracted forever into a smile. It … it felt like no one could take this moment from me, never. I could comprehend the sunshine, the rainbow. I couldn’t have been more grateful than that, than having you in my arms.
You were the star I wished on every night, weren’t you?
You were sleeping when I first saw you; a band of angelic colors integrated into one light, one being. I realized I had just become the richest man in this world. I remember kissing you on the forehead and wanting to hold you high. I felt like the happiest man on Earth. Happiest man, you hear.
I had gently run my hand through your small face, studying every fold, every crease. You had the face of your mother. I felt the pride equivalent to conquering this world. You know what daddy wanted to do? Daddy wanted to place a diamond tiara on your head. You were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
When I placed you back into the crib, I looked at you all night and it was the most beautiful night of my life. I could already imagine you calling ‘dada’, I could imagine you holding my hand while I take you to the shop, winning a race and running into my arms, going to college and making me and your mom proud.
You know, you were the best thing to ever happen to me right?
Baby … baby does your head still hurt? The bleeding stopped, right? So you’re okay, right? Won’t you hold my hand now and ask for some candy? Daddy has candy for you; you know that … that table right there? I kept it there. I kept it so I could surprise you. Won’t you ask me for it?
You know I’ll do anything for you, right? I’ll bring you the moon; I’ll change the colors of the noon. My little gem, my baby, why doesn’t your heart beat? Why can’t I hear it? Daddy’s right here, won’t you open your eyes and look at me? Do you like to hear me crying for my baby? Tell me you love dada? You’re just sleeping, aren’t you? Baby …?
You won’t listen. I know you can hear me but you won’t listen. You left me, you left daddy. My best part’s just been ripped out of me. But baby you know, if I knew; if I knew I’d have you for only 10 years, I’d never let you leave my lap. Daddy would never let you leave his sight.
I can feel your presence, are you talking to me? I can see you smile. You don’t want daddy to cry? Okay, I won’t cry. What did you say baby? You want me to kiss you goodnight and tuck you into the blankie? You’re daddy’s little girl and I love you, baby.
