I just finished an hour long chat with Abby after the other kids were in bed. She came down in tears, crying and not understanding why. She talked, I listened, we bounced from one subject to another before I was even able to give my aged advice. We hugged. Then…

God’s Little Princess
We had a Daddy/Daughter Brunch today at church called “The King and his Princess,” and I wrote a drama based on the book, “Gigi: God’s Little Princess” by Sheila Walsh. Abby was Frances. Enjoy! 🙂
