"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."
- Sigmund Freud -
Do you have a daughter?
After two sons and four grandsons, God finally gave me the little girl I waited for all my life. On the day my granddaughter was born, her smile lit up my world. Even in her teens, her every hurt causes me pain.
Every father and grandfather knows whereof I speak. This weeks 50 word story in response to @jayna's weekly prompt, "pumpkin," is about that special relationship.

"Help Me, Daddy!"
by Duncan Cary Palmer
"You're OK, Sweetheart."
Roger scooped up his four year old just as her tears began flowing.
"She bit me!" Bella sobbed. He could feel her little body shudder, and almost began crying himself.
"Pumpkin, puppies are protective of their bones. Astrid didn't understand you wanted it for a Halloween decoration."
