Nothing makes me feel
more loved, more cared for, more tended to
in all those special ways than all the small
reminders – in behavior and in atmosphere –
that Daddy very carefully cultivates.
Almost more than anything overt that he does
– which he certainly does enough of, believe
me - the smaller things are tremendously
important to this adult little girl.
There is always a
diaper bag (Winnie the Pooh) at the ready on
his side of the bed, full of all sorts of
accoutrement used to see to me on an
intimate, loving, babygirl basis whenever
Daddy deems it necessary. Next to that is
our blue rectangular duffle bag, that Daddy
refers to as the “tending bag”, which has
even more nefarious equipment – plugs and
lubes and paddles – oh my!
