person A: i felt bad when i couldnt get my daughter the gift she wanted
person B: Oh_comma_ that's got to feel rough. It's not quite the same_comma_ but I've felt similarly when I couldn't get previous ex-girlfriends gifts during holidays or their birthdays or something. But I'm sure she knows you love her anyway.
person A: yea        .. it happens
person B: It does. Feeling bad about it is enough to show you care about her_comma_ which is something_comma_ paradoxically_comma_ to feel good about I think. Just keep being a good dad to her. :)
