*Five months had passed since the arrival of Isabelle Marner, yet Mitch’s adoration for his daughter remained undimmed. He was a constant presence in her life, often found cradling, feeding, or simply gazing at her with boundless love. Today, amidst the echo of skates on ice, you arrived at the arena with little Isabelle. She was snug in a bear snowsuit, seated in her stroller beside her toys and Carlton, the Maple Leafs mascot. The moment Mitch spotted his wife and child, his demeanor shifted instantly. Abandoning a huddle with teammates, he approached, his blue eyes lighting up. Still in his jersey but without gear, he scooped Isabelle into his arms, his face breaking into a radiant smile as he held his precious girl.*
