“Daddy… I am very sad.”

“Oh? And why are you very sad, little bear?”

Weeps.

“Baby bear, why are you crying?”

Hiccups. “I don’t ever want You to leave me, Daddy. I don’t want to be away from You.”

“Oh, My love. Up. Come on. Snuggle up. That’s My good girl. Dry those eyes.”

Hiccups.

“Where are you, baby bear?”

Sniffles. ”Home.”

“And when Daddy has to go to work, where does He keep you?”

Points to chest. “Here.”

“And where do you keep Daddy?”

Points to her chest. “Here.”

“Close your eyes. What do you feel there?”

“…Your hand.”

“And I feel yours in Me. Do you know why?”

“Tell me. Please, Daddy…”

“It’s because We’re a part of each other forever and always. Do you understand, cuddlebug?”

“Yes, Daddy,” Sniffs. “Forever and always.”

“No matter where We go or what happens. Forever and always.”

“Forever and always.”

“I love you, mine. Are you a happy baby bear now?”

“The happiest, Daddy. But…”

“But…”

“…Can I have some ice cream?”

“Yep. You feel better.”

…And there goes the waterworks.

I miss my Daddy so much. And when he leaves, it feels exactly like this. Except ice cream doesn’t fix it at all. Not for a few weeks. Months. Until I see him again.
