I Miss You, Daddy

                Hi Diary. It's the last time I'm going to call you that, okay? I will give this to Daddy, so I'll write here like I'm talking to him. Is that okay?

-------------------------------------------------------------

                Hi, Daddy! I drew a line, so you will know where I started talking to you. You're leaving again, Daddy. I hate it when you leave. "It will be over soon," you told me today when you hugged me. I don't know why you said that Daddy, but I will miss you! I can't stop crying again. Mum already sang to me, but I still can't sleep. It's different when your voice isn't here. Mum gave me your music player too, Dad. It has all your songs in it. I can't stop listening to the song Nobody Compares. Daddy, what did it mean when you sang, "You're so London, your own style"? I don't get it.

Daddy, I'm sleepy. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? I love you so much, Daddy!

                It's March! Happy March, Daddy! Thank you for calling me today and telling me and Mum you love us. We love you too, Daddy!

Sorry I didn't talk to you yesterday, Daddy. I was listening to your songs. Your voice is really nice, Daddy. I want to be a singer just like you. Mum said your voice is better than hers, but I don't think so. You are both good, and I want to be as good as you and Mum.

I heard your song Back For You today, Daddy. I feel like you're singing that to me, even if I can only hear Uncle Louis' voice when he sings, "Baby, you don't have to worry, I'll be coming back for you." It's a really nice song, Daddy.

Mum and I made a video for you, Daddy. We were singing at first and then we danced at the last part. I have a solo, Daddy! I sang your solo in One Way Or Another, Daddy! It was the easiest song I could memorise, so we sang that. We watched the video of it too. Now I know where the red nose came from! I still have that on my table, Daddy. I'll wear it now.

                I'm wearing it now, Daddy. Do I look like you?

                I asked Mum if I looked like you. She was reading a book by the pool. She said yes I looked so much like you, and I was blessed that I look like you. I asked her why. "If you look like me, you'd be ugly, dear." That's what she told me. Daddy! Get mad at Mum. She doesn't know she's pretty.

                Daddy, I had a good idea! I let Mum hear your song What Makes You Beautiful. She sang along with you. You did prove you were right and put it in a song. Mum thinks she's beautiful now, and I do too! I have Mum's pretty smile. I saw it when I looked it the mirror.

                Daddy? I was about to sleep when I saw our picture on my table. You, me, and Mum. I started to cry again. Mum tried calling you, but she said you're busy. Are you too busy for me, Daddy? I hope you didn't forget your little princess. Come back home with my crown soon, okay Daddy?
