Daphnee's loud cry echoed through Robbie and mines room. I groaned and started to drag myself out of bed when Robbie placed his hand on my shoulder, "I'll get her." He whispered and hopped off our bed and over to our 1 year old daughter's crib. He lifted her up and rocked her until she fell asleep. Lately, neither of us had been able to get sleep. After Robbie placed her back in the crib he walked over and climbed back into bed, he put his arms around me and fell back asleep. I just sat there savoring the moment. My eyes shifted over to my clock which read 4:26. I knew I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. So, I just sat there, thinking about the year so far. Robbie would be starting his second year at UOF in a week and I would be going back to finish my fourth year of high school. I sighed at the fact and attempting to fall back asleep. I was awoken the next morning to the sound of Daphnee screaming 'dada' from her crib. That was the only word she knew how to say. Robbie climbed out of bed and picked her up. At the sight of his feet passing her bed, our little dog Tilly raced out of her little tent and onto our bed. Robbie lay back down on the bed with Daphnee in is arms and I scooped Tilly up. There we were, the perfect family. I felt that way, and so did Robbie. "I love you Hilary..." He whispered into my ear. I smiled and dropped my head on his shoulder. At that moment I thought my entire life was going to be perfect, but, I wasn't aware that the next year was going to be completely different...
