Flashback Age 5:
"Pa qué son esas cosas blancas en el cielo?" I asked my dad with my younger self squeaky voice. My dad and I had a tradition to go on the rooftop of our apartment building. I was sitting between his legs, he held my small figure in his arms with his chin resting on the top of my head. "Dad what are those white things in the sky?"
"Son estrellas, ay millones en el cielo. Ellas iluminan el cielo." Me dijo. "They are stars, there are millions in the sky. They illuminate the sky."
"Es-est-estrellas. ¿Muchas?"I said, he laughed at me. "St-sta-stars. Many?"
"Yes little moon, many. Whenever you feel alone just look at the stars and know that I'll always be there even if I'm not with you. Just know I'm looking at them too, from a different place." He said kissing my cheek again.
"Why wouldn't you be?" I asked, I couldn't possibly imagine a moment with papa.
He once again laughed. "One day you'll fall in love and get married." He ruffled my hair. "But not anytime soon little moon, until you're 40 to be exact."
"Ew, I don't want to get married, I have everything I need as long as you're with me." I say. "Papa why does mama hate me? Is there something wrong with me?" I ask my voice breaking a little at the end.
The moment the words left my mouth, He twisted me around to face him, and immediately looked me straight in the eye. "Listen Moon there is nothing wrong with you, do you hear me?" I nodded my head way too many times.
"You're the most perfect creation that could have ever been created, you're the best gift I have ever received and I'll be forever grateful to have you in my life." He said with emotion. "And your mom is missing out in that, there will be a lot of people you meet throughout your life that will not like you but that doesn't mean that's your fault."
I nod again. "I love you papa." I said before kissing his cheek.
"I love you to moon." He said before tickling my belly.
"PAPA!!!" I strike between giggles. "It t-tickles!!" I continued to giggle.
"I love you so much little moon." He whispered before he stopped and kissed my forehead.
End of flashback:
I woke up with my heart racing, it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.
I looked at the my digital clock on my night stand, it read 3:10 in the morning. I stood up from my bed, stepped into my slippers.
