"Daddy! I want icecream!" Aphrodite whined as she tugged on my arm. I sighed, looking around again.

I kneeled to be eye level with the five year old, "Aphy, we're waiting for Dada okay? You need to be patiant." She pouted and slumped to the ground.

"Daddy. I'm thirsty." I looked down to see messy brown pigtails. I laughed lightly, nodding and picking her up.

"Okay, baby girl. Let's see what we can get." She buried her head in my neck to hide embarrassment.

"I'm not a baby!" She said giggling. I heard fast footsteps coming up behind me.

"Sir? Are you the husband of Mr. Grassi-Hoying?" I stopped and turned around seeing a panicked looking lady.

"Uh, yes. Can I help you?" She nodded and mumbled a quiet 'yeah'.

"Your... husband. His plane... crashed. We don't know where it is, but we found luggage. He wrote this, and I figured I would give it to you." My heart stopped. I supported Aphy's weight on my hip and used my free hand to take the note.

Dear Mitch and Aphrodite,

By the time you get this, I'll be long gone. I wanted to say a final "goodbye" and "I love you" before I left so, here goes nothing.

Mitch, I love you. So much. You don't know how much I wish I could wake up and tell you about this crazy dream where a plane I was on crashed, but its real. I will miss you so damn much, you don't even know. You and Aphrodite were and still are my world. I didn't want to say goodbye like this. I didn't want to say goodbye at all. I want to come home and have Aphy's yell of "Dada's home! Daddy, let's go!" And here your laugh. I want to see you, hug you, kiss you. I want you, just one last time.

I'm really hoping they find this, because if not there's not real closure. But I'll tell you this. I love you. Please don't let this affect you and Aphy too much. I know it'll hurt, but don't be one of those parents that abuse their children because of a loss.

Mitch, try to move on. Give Aphrodite another Daddy to love. You find another person to love, just don't stay stuck on me. I mean, if you even will. You get the point.

I love you both so much. Bye.

Its been quite a while since that dreadful event happened.

Aphrodite is all grown, has a family of her own.

But that letter was never gotten rid of. Never accidently thrown away.

I never loved anyone else. I never moved on like Scot wanted me too.

I guess it all payed off, because here I am. By Scott's side again.
