Appreciation for Words

I was getting ready to head off to bed, when my daughter started crying. Well she wasn't crying, but sort of fussing and moaning in her sleep. She was caught in a bad dream and wasn't sure what to do. I sat by her bed, stroked her forehead, shhh shhh for a while, and told her that her daddy was there and everything was alright.

Not sure how to put this experience into words, but it made me have a greater appreciation for words like: meaning, purpose, love, and contentment. The best way for me to help make the world a better place is spending time with my little best friend who I can support, encourage, and father.
