Just a small glimpse of a moment in the life of a family. A father is explaining and trying to comfort his child. Maybe the child is confused because someone tried to hurt him or his family or maybe it was just a simple nightmare. Either way there appears to be sorrow or fear and many tears. The child looks to his father to convey that all is right with the world. There is a bond of trust between them. They find strength in each other and its touching that the father is handling the situation and realizing his wife is weary, he shows is being caring and concerned for her as well. Very, very sweet.
