Wednesday 11th 2012
Katie had got up before the sun. Her excitement filled the morning with joy. Her eyes couldn't stop staring at the calendar. Wednesday 11th 2012, the day her father was going to come back from war. He had been working at the territorial army units for years and today he was coming back. Katie loved her father more then anything. When she was younger she would grab onto his leg and wouldn't let him go. Arnold (her father) was going to come back at around eight forty five am. So Katie stood outside with a bouquet of roses an hour early waiting patiently for him.
8:45 had gone past one and half hours ago but still there was no sign of her father. Katie didn't give up and so she was still standing there. Finally a car pulled over around her house. And from inside came a loud shout "Katie ,Maria (her mum) I'm home" Katie ran to the car and jumped onto her father " daddy I've missed you" and then tears start running down her cheek
"Hay, hay should I go back or something because I didn't know you were going to cry on my coming back"
" sorry, it's just that, I've missed you"
"Ok, now stop crying and let's go inside"
Arnold brought many gifts from places he had been to and shared stories. The day past by as quick as minutes and the next thing you know Katie was asleep on the sofa.
Her father carried her upstairs and put her in her bed. Maria and Arnold carried on there conversation with a cup of coffee.
