    There was a little girl named Lily who thought her Daddy was the best superhero in the world. He was strong, brave, and could make her laugh like no one else.

    Lily loved their special Daddy-daughter time when they would play Superhero. Daddy would lift her high and she would squeal with delight.

    But sometimes, Daddy was different. He would sit quietly, staring into space. He didn't laugh or play, and that made Lily worried.

    One day, after a quiet day, Lily asked her Mommy why Daddy was sad. Mommy gently explained, "Daddy has something called depression."

    "Depression is like a big, gray cloud that makes Daddy feel sad and tired," Mommy continued. Lily listened carefully, her eyes wide with concern.

    "But remember, Lily, even superheroes have tough days. It doesn't make Daddy any less of a superhero," Mommy reassured her.

    Lily thought about this. She wanted to help Daddy. Just like a true superhero, she decided to use her superpowers of love and understanding.

    The next day, when Daddy was quiet, Lily sat next to him. She drew him a picture of the sun to help lift the gray cloud.

    She hugged Daddy tightly, saying, "I love you, Superhero Daddy. It's okay to have a gray cloud day." Daddy smiled a small smile.

    Over time, Lily learned to understand Daddy's quiet days. She was patient, kind, and loving, just like a real superhero.

    One day, Lily asked Daddy, "Does the gray cloud make you less of a superhero?" Daddy hugged her and said, "No, Lily. It makes me human."

    "Even superheroes have gray cloud days. It's okay to feel sad sometimes. It's important to talk about it and ask for help," Daddy explained.

    Lily nodded, understanding more about her Superhero Daddy. She felt proud of him for talking about his feelings and asking for help.

    "You're my favorite superhero, Daddy," Lily said hugging him. Daddy hugged her back, "And you're my favorite superhero too, Lily."

    That night, as Mommy tucked Lily into bed, Lily said, "I helped Daddy with his gray cloud today, like a real superhero!"

    From that day on, Lily and her Daddy were a superhero team. They faced the gray cloud days together with love, understanding, and patience.

    Lily learned that being a superhero wasn't just about strength and bravery. It was about kindness, patience, and understanding too.

    And Daddy, even on his gray cloud days, found comfort in his little superhero, Lily. Her love helped him face his depression with courage and hope.

    So, in their little house filled with love, they were both superheroes. For Lily, there was no doubt that her Daddy was the best superhero in the world.
