•Besides this song, listen to 'His Daugter' by Molly Kate Kestner. Acoustic version though. It's an amazing song•

At that moment, everything slowed down. I could only hear my own heart beat. Bump, bump, bump. Over and over it went.

Everything was finally coming together. My body was becoming healthier again, Steve and I were finally taking chances, and Darry and Pony were finally understanding me.

Even though it was chilly outside, I felt warm. I felt a warm fuzziness in my heart, it felt amazing.

It's like remembering when my brothers and I were little and at the beach, we would be playing in the sand while my parents watched and laughed along with us.

Like that feeling where my brothers and I would be snuggled up to our parents watching a horror movie, there would be a jump scare and I would freak out because I absolutely hate horror movies. I would run out of my parents grasp and run to my room, jumping on my bed and hiding underneath the covers. My mom would walk in, Darry and Pony trailing behind her, she would sit next to me and sing,

'Although you see the world
Different from me,
Sometimes I can touch upon
The wonders that you see.
All the new colors
And pictures you've designed.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
You don't need directions,
You know which way to go
And I don't want to hold you back,
I just want to watch you grow.
You're the one who taught me
You don't have to look behind.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Nobody's gonna kill your dreams
Or tell you how to live your life.
There'll always be people to make it hard for a while
But you'll change their heads when they see you smile.
The times you were born in
May not have been the best,
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest,
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine,
Child of mine,
Child of mine,
Oh, yes sweet darling,
So glad you are a child of mine.'

Every time after she finished the song, I would poke my head out of the blankets and hug her tightly. She would hold me until I fell asleep in her arms.

Darry and Pony knew better than to tease me when I was upset or angry or scared. So they would always crawl next to us and it would be like a group hug.

Dad would stand and lean on the door, smiling. Darry would always run back up to him and pull him to the bed.

We would all just sit there holding one another, smiling.

Without knowing it, a tear dropped from my eyes.

Knocking me out of my thoughts, Steve hugged me. For once I felt safe to cry.

I let it out on his shoulder and hugged him tightly.

"Why are you crying babe?" He asked gently as if his voice went any louder, I would shatter.
