Will she ever know?

Will Cassidy ever know how much her daddy loves her? This is a classic example of the way Kurt loves his little girl. On hot sunny days when they're out walking in the yard, he often follows her with an umbrella to protect her from the sun. (She has sensitive skin that tends to react badly to sunscreen.) She just jaunts around happily, almost oblivious to her ever-present protective daddy. And so this will be throughout her life...daddy and mommy always loving her and trying to keep her safe, while she goes about her business...maybe (probably) even resisting that protection at times. But we'll still do it. And she might not understand that kind of love...until, that is, she has a little pumpkin of her own. My parents told me again and again when I was growing up, "you'll understand when you have kids" and they were right. I get it now. And so will Casssidy. Someday.
