Covering for Daddy

Daddy had to go away to a conference for a few days. I'm always sad when he's not here, but I'm a big girl and I know he'll be back soon. Lela, though, is very sad without him, so I have to help her cheer up until he gets back.
The best way for me to do this is by giving her a big ole kiss.

And then we're both happy, see?

But hurry back, Daddy, there's no substitute for you.
