Stay Strong Little One

A Boy

💫A Boy: Worried, Full of Life, Living Life.💫

"Daddy, where are you? I miss you. I haven't seen you for along time." The 5 year old asks, sitting on his bed, "I need you daddy. Mommy is always sad but she tries to hide it but I know the truth. Guess what, daddy, I start school soon, I hope you can make it. I love you daddy, come home soon please."

The little boy closed his eyes and hugged his little giraffe tight. A single tear falls from the little boy's eye before he lays down and waits her his Mother to come in.

"Are you ready for bed, baby?" He hears his mom, he turns over to see her, she looks pale with red tried eyes.

"Yes mommy." He answers with a nod. "Can I ask you something mommy?" He asks as she tucks him in.

"Anything, love." She answers with a smile.

"Where's daddy? I miss him." He asks, when he looks up to mommy, she has tears running down her face. "Mommy? What's wrong?" He asks scared, getting up and wrapping his little arms around her.

"Baby, he's gone and won't be coming back anytime soon. We just got to be strong and pray for him." She answers holding the little boy close.

"I will mommy. I promise, I just miss him a lot." He says, a tear going down his face and landing on his mom's shirt.

"We all miss him and he misses us." She answers looking into the boy's eyes.

"If he misses us, he should come back." He says, tears coming down fast now.

"He would but he can't right now." She answers, tears running down her face as well, as she tries and wipes the tears from the little boy.

"Why?" He asks upset and confused now.

"It's hard, baby. Really hard." She answers , just above a whisper, only to be heard by the boy in front of her.
