"Mommy check the closest." my 4 year old said. I looked and said "see nothing there sweetie" she looked at me skeptically but fell asleep. She did that for the next 11 years

My little girl was now a young woman. As she put her lavender hair up in a pony tail so she could wash her face she looked at me with her brown doe eyes at said "mom check my closet again please." "Your getting a little old for this don't cha think?" I said. "Just do it mom" so i walked over and opened her closet just like usual I said "nothing but clothes darling" she stared at me. Finally she said "dad always walks out of it and says goodnight"
Her father died when she was 2
