"Come on Bella sweetheart we're gonna be late" Ben said to his freshly four year old daughter

"I coming daddy" she yelled from upstairs

Finally hearing her little footsteps Ben walked over to the bottom of the stairs to meet her, but was shocked when he saw what she had on

"Bella what are you wearing?" He asked

"Mommy shirt daddy" she smiled looking down at her oversized dress shirt

Ben smiled as tears filled his eyes, he missed his wife so much and seeing his daughter in her shirt made him miss her badly.

"I'm pretty like mommy...see" she said turning around as the shirt slid off her shoulders

"Beautiful" he said with tears falling. When he realized that he was crying he quickly whipped his eyes and said....

"How about we stay home today Bella bear?"

"YES" she yelled walking back upstairs

Walking in the park with Bella by his side holding his hand, he looked up as a plane flew by

"Hi Mommy" Bella waved at the plane in the sky

When Miranda passed Ben told Bella that she was in the sky. So in her mind every time she saw an airplane she waves thinking Miranda was in the plane that was in the sky.

"I miss mommy" Bella said looking at the plane fly further away from them

"I miss her too Bella bear" Ben said picking her up.

"Is mommy coming back soon?" Bella asked as Ben helped her with her night clothes.

"One day, but just remember mommy will always be right here" he said pointing to her heart and her necklace with the letter M on it

"Can you sing me a song daddy" she asked as she got in bed

"You want me to sing the song mommy used to sing?" He asked laying next to her as she curled up beside him

"Yeah" she smiled and yawned

"Okay, I'll try" he laughed

"Okay" she smiled

"In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight"

"Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight"

"You remember what mommy said to sing?" He asked

"wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh" Bella sang

"Keep going" he smiled and continued to sing until her voice stopped and she was sound asleep.

In bed Ben grabbed Mirandas pillow and softly inhaled and exhaled

"I miss you so much" he softly said with his eyes closed feeling a cold breeze Ben squeezed her pillow and fell asleep with nothing but his wife on his mind.





















Something very short that was on my mind🤷🏾‍♀️
