Dear Mom,

daddy caught me.

dear mom,

as i was walking back home,

trying to figure out this feeling,

i felt these big arms grab me.

mommy,

they were hurting me.

i was screaming and begging for them to let me go.

but when i turned my head,

i found daddy. 

his eyes were really red and puffy. 

he smelled really weird too.

and his clothes were hanging off him.

mommy,

why was daddy like this?

mommy,

when daddy saw my face,

his eyes started becoming really wet,

and he was smiling.

he told me how worried he was,

and how sorry he was. 

i decided to go with daddy because i have to take care of him. 

love,

ann
