Cop Accompanies Partner’s Daughter to Nursery on Father’s Day While Her Dad Is in a Coma – Story of the Day

Jimmy was a cop, and his partner and best friend, Joe, had recently gone into a coma after an operation. Jimmy would take his partner’s daughter, Alice, to kindergarten daily. One day, on the way to kindergarten a crying Alice’s tears would spark an epiphany for both Jimmy and the little girl.

Jimmy was a dedicated, kind-hearted police officer who adored children. Unfortunately, Jimmy was currently going through his fair share of tough times.

He and his wife were currently undergoing a separation, which was difficult for Jimmy because it meant he didn’t get to see his son. His wife had decided to separate from Jimmy because he had refused to take his health seriously despite being overweight and spent more time with friends than family.

Jimmy’s partner, Joe, had recently fallen into a coma after having a big operation. Jimmy and Joe had served together in the force for almost ten years and were more than just partners; they were best friends.

So, Jimmy had agreed to take Joe’s daughter, Alice, to and from kindergarten daily until Joe was better. Jimmy cherished the time he got to spend with Alice. She reminded him a lot of his son.

One day Jimmy was on his way to drop Alice off at kindergarten. Alice was often a very jolly and outspoken child. Also, she adored Jimmy’s company. He had a way with children. However, for some reason, Alice was not her usual cheerful self.

“Alice… Everything okay, sweetheart?” Jimmy asked. Alice said nothing, just shaking her head in disagreement.

“Would you like to tell uncle Jimmy what’s wrong?” Jimmy asked.

“Father’s Day… It’s Father’s Day at school today, and I have to speak about my father,” Alice said softly, starting to cry.

“Oh no, sweetheart. Does that make you sad?” Jimmy said carefully, holding her little shoulder, trying to console her.

“A little,” Alice said, wiping her tears.

“Don’t be sad, my angel. While your dad can’t be here today, your second father is here and will be here until he can,” Jimmy said.

“Second father?” Alice asked with a hopeful smile.

“Yep! You’ve got your dad and me! What a special girl you are, eh?!” Jimmy emphasized, glad to see Alice smiling again.

“Yes, I am. Second father… I like the sound of that,” Alice concluded, back to her joyful self.

That day Jimmy stayed over to watch the Father’s Day concert Alice and her classmates were having. Jimmy was incredibly moved when Alice got on stage to sing a song she had dedicated to her sick father as well as her “Second father.”
