A mother sat in the driver’s seat of her car, waiting outside the school, when her little girl slammed the door shut and broke into uncontrollable sobs. “Baby, what happened?” the mother asked anxiously. The little girl wiped her eyes, her voice trembling. “Everyone said dad doesn’t pick me up because I’m not really his…” The mother’s face hardened with pure anger and fierce protectiveness. She grabbed her daughter’s face gently and looked straight into her eyes. “Your father loves you more than the sun loves the sky. Don’t let anyone tell you different!” No toxic rumor was going to break their family’s bond.
