Growing Up
Inevitably, she would not remain as innocent as the little nine-year-old girl as she grew up, but she never lost the sense of safety she got from knowing that her father would always be there to protect her.
She was comforted to know that her father would always support her and fight off any bully who dared to take her on.
But as she grew into a kind young woman, she also learned how to stand up for herself, by herself.
