“I’m with you every step of the way” he promised her.
He was there when she took her first shaky steps across the sitting room into his arms.
He was there when she entered her first classroom teary faced, reluctant to let go of his hand.
He was there when she announced excitedly that her wiggly tooth had finally fallen out.
He was there to hear her speech on the graduation ceremony.
He was there to walk by her side towards the man of her dreams.
He was diagnosed with cancer a few years later.
“I’m with you every step of the way” she promised him.

Such a tender story. Well done.
Thank you!
Good they continued on, step by step.
Yes I’m glad she didn’t leave his side…
what a great dad.
Great dad raised a great daughter…
Beautifully done… Could have been my father’s and my story…
Thank you! I’m so glad it resonated so closely with you…
A most poignant story. You’ve used the ‘list’ technique very effectively.
I don’t really know the technicalities but thank you 🙂
Oh, a lovely story of life, and relationship. I really like this one.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful story, Zainab.
Shalom,

Thank you Rochelle.
Sad stuff, well written
That’s life!
Very touching. Beautiful story!
Thank you!
I can only hope she is with him on every step of his recovery. A very touching story.
Yes she will keep her promise just like her dad did.
He was the kind of father who deserved her loyalty.
Yes the kind we all wish we have.
So sad but a beautiful picture of a relationship between two people with abiding love and respect for each other.
It’s sad but hopeful too, she will keep her promise
At least she’s there to be able to help him. Very sad but beautiful at the same time
It’s sad but hopeful too because his daughter will never leave his side…
Very tenderly written.
Thank you!
