Why are they sorry

Daddy says that mommies not gonna be home for a while

He says that she is going to a better place, but he doesn't have to tell me I know she's in Hawaii, she always says that she would love to go there

But why didn't she take me like she promised?

I have to go to this sad party, my dad told me to wear black, like every one else
Everyone was crying, some people spoke at a Po-dium, I learned the word from my mom

Everywhere I looked more people surrounded my saying "I'm sorry for your loss",but I didn't say anything back ,why are they so sad that I lost Tim, my stuffed bear.

I told my dad and he shook his head sadly, and some ladies came over and spoke slowly as if I couldn't understand " Your.....mom.....is.....gone"

But I knew that, I told them as such and they said in plainer terms "Your mom died in a car accident"

"No daddy said she went to Hawaii, he wouldn't lie", but all daddy did was smile, sadly,and nod his head in confirmation

That was the last time I saw my father smile when I was 10 years old, on my birthday July 7
