Fan

Riding in the car with my daughter, she asked me to sing for her. First it was Twinkle, Twinkle Little Little Star, then it was The Itsey Bitsey Spider. Then it was a song I couldn't figure out... honestly, I had no idea what she was asking me for so I started making them up. After three or four made up songs, I decided to sing Once Upon a Dream from Sleeping Beauty. The silly girl asked me to sing it over, and over. Finally my throat began to hurt, and I stopped.

"Good singing Mommy." Was the very next sound I heard. My heart near overflowed with joy, and love.

My eyes teared up. "Thank you baby. You wanna hear another one?"

"Yes!"

Despite my drying throat, I keep on singing for her, and before long she was lulled to sleep by the sound of my voice.

I hope she stays my number one fan.
