I woke up to a sunny day, Mama had already finished breakfast and was staring the dishes. I can hear the pans and silver where clinking as she put them in the sink and put the soap into the water. Then as if i was there in the kitchen, i smelled her gravy and eggs.
I jumped out of bed and slipped on my light pink slippers daddy had given me a week before he went away, "The war's almost over", Mama said "Daddy will be home soon." She had told me that almost two months ago. Daddy had been gone two months exactly when she told me that. I sat there for a moment and stared at my slippers They won’t perfect like they use to be. They had faded a bit and the bottom's were worn but But i don’t care. My daddy gave them to me and i love them. I Got up and went to my door and turned the brass door knob. I stepped into the hallway and looked at the clock. 10:52am.
I walked through the livening room and into the kitchen. "Good morning baby girl" mama said smiling at me she washed off a spoon with the cloth rag "Ember, Ember!" Two little voices screamed as they came out from mama and daddy's room. "well good morning to you too." i said picking up both my little brother and sister in a hug. "you all need to eat while its hot" mama said pointing at the table with a spoon. "yes mama" i said sliding Nevaeh into the chair next to me and putting Aaron into his high chair.
I grabbed three plates and my sister wiggled in her chair. "I have some good news’s" Mama said coming to the table. "And what is that?" I said getting a spoon of gravy "Your dad will be home in two weeks" She said smiling. I dropped the spoon and gravy splattered everywhere."Really?" I asked excited "yes" mama said "Daddy!" Aaron said clapping his hands. "Daddy's coming home!" Nevaeh said smiling. "yes sweetie, Daddy's coming home" mama said. I ran over and hugged her with tear's in my eyes. "oh Ember" mama said looking down at me "don’t cry sweetheart". "Daddy's coming home mama! I’m so happy. I miss him so much." i said whimpering through my tears. "Yes baby, well all do." she said petting my head.
