I cried with my daughter
Over the death of mummy dinosaur in 'The Land Before Time'.
It's a sad scene, with sad music,
And I'm a sucker for manipulative cartoon lump-in-throat moments,
But it was Rowan's little puckered face
As she fought to keep the flow at bay
That brought mine forth.
Five years old and she's already fighting,
Thirty seven and I've all but given up.
Not hard, not hard, the tears came easily,
and are far from the last I will shed for my amazing little girl.
