 And so she went to the side of the great man. When she 
 walked into the room and saw him, he looked small and not 
 strong at all. He looked at her and tried to speak, but he can’t. 
 The little girl did the only thing she could do. She sat next to 
 the great man, drew her arms around the useless shoulders of 
 her father.
 Her head on his chest, she thought of many things. She 
 remembered she had always felt protected and cherished by 
 the great man. She felt grief for the loss she was to endure, the 
 words of love that had comforted her.
 And then she heard from within the man, the beat of his heart. 
 The heart beat on, steadily unconcerned about the damage to 
 the rest of the body. And while she rested there, the magic 
 happened. She heard what she needed to hear.
 His heart beaten out the words that his mouth could no longer 
 say....
 I love you, little girl  I love you, little girl  and she was 
 comfortable.
