CHAPTER 28: THE TEARS
Emma asked me about Daniel one day.
"Mommy, where's Daddy?"
I didn't know what to say.
"He's gone, sweetheart."
"Will he come back?"
"No."
"Is he ever coming home?"
"No."
She started to cry.
I held her.
"I miss him, Mommy."
"I know, baby. I know."
"Why did he leave?"
I couldn't tell her the truth.
Not yet.
So I just held her.
And I let her cry.
And I promised myself that one day I would tell her.
But not now.
Not yet.
When she was older.
When she could understand.
For now, all I could do was hold her.
And love her.
May you like
And protect her.
From everything.
