She's just a little girl. And yet, in so many ways, she's such a little woman. A couple of nights before I gave her the birthday present, her cat died. Her cat was put down. She and her mother called me first. Olivia called me. She said - and this breaks my heart - "I'll be okay soon, but it's hard. It's hard to love someone so much and have to say goodbye."

At eight, she was so much more adult than I was at 27 when I lost my father.

My point is, Olivia (I even love the name, "Olivia." I'm much pickier about girls' names than boys' names, but Olivia's a favorite. For boys, I like simple, "40s baseball player" names, I call them - Joe, Bob, Bill, John, Jack, Rich, Lou, etc. For girls, I like somewhat lyric, but not pretentious names. There are very few names on this list, but "Olivia" is one. It helps that my middle name, and the name passed on for men in my family for generations, is "Oliver") is the most amazing little girl I've ever met. She's my little girl. I can imagine no better calling than to be her father.

I have always had a crush on Windy. Since I found out what a wonderful little child she could create, I have fallen in love with her.

But....

I'm not her father. I can't be. It's undeniable. My Father's eyes are unmistakable. I have them. My brother has them. When my best friends Josh and Janiece first met my brother's daughter Vanessa, Janiece's first comment was, "I know those eyes." Large, soft brown, grey rings around the pupils, heavy Italian eyelids, thick but separate eyebrows. They're beautiful, sure, but distinct.

Olivia certainly doesn't have those eyes. Although her eyes are the most beautiful I've ever seen, they're not my Father's, they're not mine. Her eyes are large, yes, but the deepest blue you've ever seen - darker than Windy's, like two sapphires in her little face. Her eyelids are thin, her eyebrows straight, all to accentuate the blueness of those enormous eyes.

She is my little girl still, but she is not my daughter. It doesn't matter how much she and I wish it otherwise. She has said to me more than once, "I wish you were my Daddy." Each time she says that, choking back tears, I say, "I do, too." And I mean it. Against everything I've ever thought, I really mean it. When she calls me her Daddy, I don't correct her.
