The chains that bind....

Daddy put the chain back on the bed last night. It's been pretty standard in the almost 10 years we've lived together to have a chain on the bed connected to a cuff so I can't go far at night. It cuffs to my ankle. We had bought a new mattress and box spring awhile back and Daddy had never put the chain back on. Honestly, I was so pregnant and unsteady on my feet anyways that it would have been a disaster, and he knew it..lol.

So last night I noticed him pulling the chain out of the closet. My first thought was that I was sure I was going to trip and kill myself getting up to go to the bathroom or getting to the baby. I was nervous, and not even sure why I was nervous. He really didn't say much about it. When I went to bed he quietly cuffed me. As soon as that cuff closed I felt peace...

My Daddy and I have discussed this option...the way that you describe it - and the peace that you experience from it - makes me long for our own chain on the bed...

Thanks for sharing!

Best,
Baby Girl :)
