They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes, though, just one word will do. One word will capture all that could be said.

Love.

It is a daddy knowing his little girl is having a rough night and just needs some extra love and affirmation.

It is him putting aside his own comfort, putting aside his own plans for the evening and climbing into a crib to snuggle his baby girl.

Love.

It is a baby girl feeling the strong arms of her daddy around her and immediately feeling comforted…safe…secure.

Love.

It is what I felt for my man when I saw this beautiful picture before me. My husband, with his strong arms that are made for working hard, yet gentle enough to comfort.

Yes, this picture says one word, a word that says more than a thousand things.
