Why did I get married again?

Chapter 27

Daniel's POV

It's been 5 years sine Patricia had passed away, and things haven't been going well. Arianna is always asking where she was, and I don't want to hurt her. But she deserves some kind of answer.

"Daddy? Where's mommy?" she asked.

"She's home baby,"

"Where, I don't see her? How is she home, when she's not here with us?" she asked.

"Sh-she's in a very special home, with the lord...you remember me saying that the lord has a home for everyone?" she nodded.

"She's there, where she's happy, and she can live forever,"

"But...wasn't she happy with us here?" she asked.

"She was...but God wanted her home...so he took her,"

"But why daddy?" she asked. She cuddled up closer to me, with small tears coming from her eyes. She. always asked these same questions, and I always gave her the same answer.

"Because God just decided it was her time honey...I don't know why, but only he knows about it,"  I kissed her forehead, and held her close on my lap. I loved my daughter so much...I couldn't live without her. She's the closest person to Pat...she looks so much like her mother it's scary.

"You ready to go see mommy?" I asked. She nodded with a few sniffles, I grabbed her hand, and, walked her to the car, and put her into her car seat. I then get in, while grabbing a fresh boquette of roses in hand, and drove to Peace's Resting Place graveyard. We enter through the large black gate, and stop the car on the side. I then get out, and unstrap Arianna, and we both get out together. We head down the rows, down to a tall oak tree. There stood her grave stone. I made sure it looked nice every time I came to see her. Her grave consisted of her name, her birth date, and her death. with the words

"A loving Mother, friend, wife, and teacher...may you rest in peace," I also Had her picture engraved into it, so Ari and I could never forget her.  I knelt next to her, and lied the roses over the top, and placed my hand on her photo, I smiled...she looked so beautiful. I wished to touch that face for real, hold her tightly in my arms as I kissed her lips lovingly...I wished, but it never happens.

"Hi mommy. Daddy and I are here to say hi, and to make sure you're ok. I know Thaat God took you for a reason, but I want you here with me...so I can talk girl talk with you. I can't do that with daddy. He always get's mad, and thinks I have a boy friend, and I'm only 5. I drew you a picture. It's me and you, with daddy. You're an angel and you came down to say hello, and we spent all day together. I miss you mommy, I love you," She placed the framed picture down in front, and kissed it. I smiled a little at her. She may be young, but she was as out spoken as her mom.

"Ari baby, go a head to the car, I'll be there in a minute," I handed her the keys. I let her go, sense it was ony a few feet away and I waited till she enetered, and locked the doors

"Hey baby girl. I jsut came by to see you. I miss you every day of my life. It hasn' been the same since you've been gone. I really don't know what to do...I never could have imagined my life without you. I love you, and I always will. I haven't been able to find anyone to love...I just feel it's too soon. I feel like I was replacing you. I just don't seem right baby. I know you' want me to be happy with someone else, but I am happy, now...I miss you so much...I love you," I say with a smile. I walk back to the car, and see Ari talking to a woman dressed in a white pant suit with, long waved hair, and white heels. I wondered who it was.

"Have you been a good girl?" her voice soft, and light. It was sweeet sounding...amd joyful

"Yes,"  she said with a smile.
