Fearless
by Matt Hlinak The man chased after his three-year-old daughter as she splashed in the lake. “Stay close to me,” he warned. A plastic crown perched atop her head. She laughed as a wave nearly knocked her over. She didn’t worry about drowning. She didn’t worry about E. coli in the water. She didn’t worry about a family history of pancreatic cancer. She didn’t worry about one day sleeping with some guy who didn’t care about her. She didn’t worry about terrorism, global warming or meteors. “You’re my prince, Daddy,” she said with a grin, and the man didn’t worry about anything either. |
