i bit down on my nail beds hard as i watched my six year old daughter, jada, cry into the arms of her father, shawn. today, he was leaving for the military for a year and a half, and she was old enough to understand that she wouldn't see him for a while.

"i don't want you to go daddy," jada cried against shawn's shoulder, who was kneeled down on the ground so he could be level with her height.

"i'll be back before you know it princess, i promise," shawn said quietly, wrapping his arms around her and standing up. her small arms wrapped around his neck and her small legs encircled his torso.

"do you have to go?" jada asked shawn, pulling away to look at him but keeping her arms secure around his neck.

shawn sent me a sad glance before gazing at jada, his eyes full with nothing but admiration.

"yeah i do," jada choked on a cry again, gasping, "but i promise when i come home, we can have tea parties, sleepovers and watch lots of movies, okay?" shawn kissed her cheek, then her nose, then finally her forehead.

she nodded meekly and he put her down, coming over to me.

not wanting to cry in front of Jada, i bit my lip and walked into his arms, wrapping my arms around his torso. i buried my head in his chest and let silent tears slip down my cheeks.

"i'm going to miss you shawn, please stay safe," i said quietly, looking up at him through my blurry vision, "i don't want you to get injured-"

"don't worry about that, okay? i promise i will come back," shawn assured, my hands trembling anxiously, "i love you so, so much. i will try and call whenever i can."

i shakily nodded, "okay, i love you too."

he brought his hands up to my cheeks and slowly leaned in, placing his trembling lips on mine. i kissed him back instantly, knowing this would be our last kiss for a while. when we pulled away, his flight was called.

"i love you ,akayla," shawn repeated.

"i love you too shawn," i replied, another tear falling from my eye.

looking down, i seen jada tugging at the leg of shawn's sweats with tear stained cheeks. he grabbed his bag and put it on his back, swinging his carryon over his shoulder.

jada hurried to me and latched onto my legs, small cries leaving her lips.

"make daddy stay, i d-don't want him to leave," she cried loudly, causing people to glance our way.

the look on shawn's face when she began to cry even harder could have crushed me, as it was a look of pure sadness that jada was crying because of his departure. he quickly pried her away from my legs, pulling her into a tight hug that i knew held a lot of emotion.

since day one, jada has been attached to shawn. she loves him so much and if anything was to happen to him on this trip, i couldn't imagine how devastated she would be. i loved Shawn too, so much, but her bond with him was one that never could be broken.

"stay safe," i whispered as he released her, quickly kissing my forehead.

"i love my girls so much, always remember that i'm thinking of you," shawn said as he kissed jada's forehead as well.

she wrapped his arms around him one last time before he had to pry her off of him. she moped back to me, basically demanding me to hold her. i scooped her into my arms, waving goodbye to shawn as he slowly approached the gate.

before he entered the gate, he turned back to us.

we both waved to him again and he wove back, blowing a kiss before dissappearing completely.
