Mummy took me to see a really nice lady today. She gave me this book! It's pink and has a picture of a fairy princess on it. She told me that when I feel bad I should write in this book.
Mummy has been crying all day now. Daddy came home and mummy started crying. I don't know what is going on but there were men going into mummy and daddy's room. When they came out they have daddy's stuff.
Granny is here too, she was reading. One of those big books grown ups read. Granny said it was time to read but I didn't want to.
Mummy was crying and daddy was yelling. Daddy then called me.
I hadn't seen him in so long! Daddy has to go away a lot for work.
I ran up to him and he picked me up and spun me around. He wasn't smiling.
Mummy was sitting down on a chair and he sat next to her on his lap. He told me something but I don't member.
I still don't know what is going on.
Daddy left.
He just got back.
Why did he go?
Why did he need all his stuff?
I want my daddy back.
