How am I supposed to function?

This girl is heartbreakingly sweet. She wanted me to cuddle rather than just stay with her putting her to bed (she is very very tired from a wonderful day out with Poppa). So, I cuddled for "one more minute" and she cried when I got out of the bed and I felt it was heading toward tantrum cry and told her that if she got upset about this, I was going to leave the room and she could be upset alone.

And she said, "No... " *big shaking breath, "It's okay to cry." In her most pathetic crying sad voice.

And I agreed.

And she said, "So I don't want you to go away."
