Me and You

Daddy

it was just me and daddy now it was very strange going home and not having mum there, when we got home there was so many cards and flowers from people all saying im sorry for your loss, daddy and me got on ok with things but daddy wasnt his happy self anymore he didnt sing in the shower, he didnt come down to breakfast full of smiles i know daddy was lost so was i wanted my mum more than anything i missed her cuddles, i missed her smell, i missed her blonde curls i missed her singing to me. i still went to school, daddy would drop me off give me a kiss goodbye and then grandma would pick me up take me to her house till it was time for daddy to pick me up, i hated going to school now everyone would ask me about mummy even the teachers would ask me about home life i found it very strange all these questions. one day daddy picked me up from grandmas and asked me if i was ok "im ok daddy i just miss mummy" "i do as well sweetheart so much but i need to think of you now" 

Things changed after that, daddy would sing in the shower again, he would take me to school, pick me up and every friday night we would go out to dinner somewhere usually mcdonalds my favourite i liked chicken nuggets and chips the best, daddy liked burgers with everything in it. daddy and i would go camping most weekends and we would look up at the stars and choose the brightest one and we knew mum was looking down on us. 

years passed i went onto to college and studied art, painting had always been something i was good at i would paint what was on my mind usually mum, it got harder over the years not having mum around especially as i got older not being able to talk to her about boys, periods and all the other girl stuff dad always tried and where i apprecaited him trying it wasnt mum i became sad and very angry that my mum wasnt here while everyone else had there mum i would cry most nights wishing my mum was here so i could talk to her i became very depressed i would take drugs and come home late dad wasnt impressed it would make him sad to see me act  this way i decided i would get help and throw myself into my art but daddy had other ideas for me..
