溫馨夜讀II PART3 4.I Love You, Little Girl
[00:06.93]Once upon a time there was a great man who married the woman of his dreams.
[00:12.05]With their love, they created a little girl.
[00:15.21]She was a bright little girl and the man loved her very much.
[00:20.00]When she was very little, he would pick her up, hum a tune and dance with her,
[00:25.45]and he would tell her, “I love you, little girl.”
[00:28.71]When the little girl was growing up, the great man would hug her and tell her, “I love you, little girl.”
[00:36.01]The little girl would pout and say, “I’m not a little girl anymore.”
[00:40.80]Then the man would laugh and say, “But to me, you’ll always be my little girl.”
[00:46.90]The little girl who-was-not-little-anymore left her home and went into the world.
[00:52.56]As she learned more about herself, she learned more about the man.
[00:56.81]She saw that he truly was great and one of his strengths was his ability to express his love to his family.
[01:06.17]It didn’t matter where she went in the world, the man would call her and say, “I love you, little girl.”
[01:13.36]The day came when the great man had a stroke.
[01:16.08]He couldn’t talk anymore.
[01:18.15]He could no longer smile, laugh, walk, hug, dance or tell the little girl that he loved her.
[01:26.53]And so she went to the side of the great man.
[01:29.81]He looked at her and tried to speak, but he could not.
[01:33.61]The little girl did the only thing she could do.
[01:36.89]She climbed up on the bed next to the great man.
[01:40.26]Tears ran from both of their eyes and she drew her arms around the shoulders of her father.
[01:47.01]Her head on his chest, she thought of many things.
[01:50.60]She remembered the wonderful times together and how she had always felt protected and cherished by the great man.
[01:58.22]She felt grief for the loss she was to endure, the words of love that had comforted her.
[02:04.21]And then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart, the heart where the music and the words had always lived.
[02:13.83]And while she rested there, the magic happened.
[02:18.86]She heard what she needed to hear.
[02:21.71]His heart beat out the words that his mouth could no longer say …
[02:26.95]I love you, little girl!
[02:29.25]I love you, little girl!
[02:31.44]I love you, little girl!
