Also the safety she felt of her mother and father both being there…this is what I had growing up, and we must talk more about our families which ARE intact according to the “nuclear, heteronormative” model. I saw every day with my friends in public school (I attended private school until 5th grade) where I was first exposed to so many kids from different origins…upper middle class, lower middle class, and then just plain out impoverished. I saw plenty of poor Black kids who still had both parents….so today, I still grit my teeth when non-Black folks take it upon themselves to spotlight the lack of fathers in Black households, when honestly, white families are going through the same thing. You don’t see a huge topical floodlight being shown on broken white families, do you? Anyways, I am so glad that this family made it out alive. We will all be watching to see how this horrific domestic terrorist is handled in the days and probably months to come. With a sigh, I feel as if I already know. 😐

This is the sweetest little girl. The love and admiration she has for her parents is heart warming. 😭 ❤️

I am much older now and I understand her love for her daddy. She not talking about the street dad cussing, drinking and smoking. She’s talking about that protective loving dad. Her smile is the result of her father’s inner strength and his commitment of love for her. Her daddy placed that smile on her face. Every daddy should make sure that their child has that smile. It just takes quality time and commitment.
