从前，有个男人娶到了他梦寐以求的人为妻。后来，他们有了一个聪明伶俐的小女儿，那是他们爱情的结晶，男人很爱她。

女孩很小时，男人就抱着她，哼着小曲，在屋子里翩翩起舞，并告诉她：“小女儿，我爱你！”

小女孩渐渐长大了，这个男人仍然经常拥抱她，并告诉她：“我爱你，小女儿！”此时小女孩会撅起嘴一脸严肃地说：“我已不再是小女孩了。”男人就笑着说：“但在我眼里，你永远都是我的小女孩。”

后来，小女孩长大了，离开家，步人了社会。她逐渐对自己有了进一步的了解，也更理解爸爸了。她觉得爸爸的确很了不起，因为现在她看到了他的力量，他能向家人表达自己的爱，这就是其中之一。无论她走到哪里，男人都会打来电话对她说：“小女儿，我爱你！”

已不再是小女孩的她，有一天接到一个电话，得知爸爸中了风，患了失语症，再也不能说话了。他们不知道他还能否理解别人对他说的话。他不能再微笑、大笑、走路、拥抱、跳舞或对这个不再是小女孩的女儿说他爱她了。
