“Good morning daddy?”
“Good Morning to you.” I answered back
“I have a question… (Hesitation and fidgeting)…Why is life not happy?” She asked.
Our youngest daughter does not cease to amaze us. Not sure what to make of her difficult question, I turned to her mom for help. Needless to say, she too is not sure what to make of our 5 year old daughter’s rhetorical question.
“Life is what you make it.” I answer back still wondering if this is the best response to a 5 year old. I try to ply why she thinks life is not happy, but to little avail. I was left pondering and do realize that her question is real. However, with a positive altitude and a big dream, life is happy and can be happy. What do you think?
