    Her daddy, watching her with a warm smile, joined her. They twirled, jumped, and laughed together, creating memories.

    A sudden injury had left her daddy bedridden. Nadia missed their dance sessions, her eyes welling up with tears.

    Her daddy assured her, 'We'll dance again soon, my little dancer.' Nadia nodded, determination filling her little heart.

    She started dancing alone, at first. Her movements clumsy, but her spirit undeterred. She practiced diligently, remembering her daddy's steps.
