Driving to work today, without radio and fuming about a lot of things, but mostly about having to go to work on such a beautiful spring day, Gaia says to me: "Daddy? Do you know who I love?"
"No," I say. "Tell me."
"I love you. And mumma."
My heart swells. "Oh, honey. Thank you."
"I'll love you and mumma, no matter what. Always."

You're a good girl, Gaia. There are things on this here blog that I might show to your first real boyfriend. This post will be one of them.

Oops. Tears of joy now.
