"Daddy, You Are Cool!"

She looked at her father. She felt so safe when he was around. He was calm and confident. Her big hero. The sea was delightful. Warm. Waves said hello and goodbye. Touched her feet. Playfully. Her eyes spreading joy. Her lips showing a cute smile. Yellow colored environment. Birds flying around. Their voices excited. More than enough fishes swimming in the sea. She could stay here all summer long. Their bond a treasure for life and beyond. Staring at the sea, together, peaceful and strong.

She saw her gorgeous boyfriend, when she was in her twenties. Standing both at the shore. The sand was cosy and covered their feet. Hands holding hands. Fingers caressing fingers. One. In love for the very first time. The movement of the sun, a scene to remember, each summer season long. Love songs in the air. The waves approached and said hello, and goodbye again. The fishes played hide and seek. The birds watched it all. A surrendering climate. Expanding the dream. Growing together. The journey of love.

She married the man of her dreams nearby the ocean. On a beautiful summer night. Safe around him. The night invited the brightest stars. He whispered words of love in her ears. She could not stop smiling. Their hearts and souls touched each other gently. They were all alone. Together as one. He had that special look in his eyes. She had the same glance. Happiness. A scent of sweet romance. A stunning couple. Candle light dinners. Touching memories. Stored forever. The best choice. The choice of the heart.

She was older now. A bit grey. She was standing at the seaside. Her old and wise father beside her. She felt safe. She was grateful for all the things he taught her. Her wonderful childhood. They stared at the sea. They looked at the waves, saying hello and goodbye. A returning scene. No words. Just embracing the feeling of togetherness. A strong team. "Daddy, you are so cool!", was what she whispered in his ears. He smiled and was proud of his daughter. She became the great person that he always had seen in her. She gave her father a warm hug. Caring scene.

Her daughter called her grandfather's name. She was playing with her father. On sandy hills. They all were happy in the moment. They felt safe and loved. The waves welcomed the sweet family, said hello and goodbye again. The sun warmed their hearts. Days passed by. The summer holidays were magnificent. Stories full of tenderness. Sharing special vibes. The summer was long and caressed their bodies slowly and gently. The sand danced with the waves. The fishes played hide and seek with the birds. Life continued. Sweet scenes.
