As Lily grew older, some days were hard. When she was fourteen, she came home with tears in her eyes. "Daddy, they’re being mean to me at school," she cried. Her dad hugged her tightly and said, "You are strong, and I love you. Always remember that!" He helped her feel better, and together they thought of ways to be brave. On her wedding day, Lily, now twenty-one, danced with her dad. "You always believed in me, Daddy," she said, smiling through tears. "I love you!" And they danced, surrounded by love, joy, and laughter.
