Chapter 2

Breakfast and the candles

I eventually got up, after about a hour and got into my checkered skirt and light blue top, then my mum called me for breakfast, when I went down I saw a whole table of bacon, eggs, cereal, fruit, juice and then in the middle of the table candles with a photo of a man near a ship, when I look closer I realise that the man near the ship is my father. "Hey sweetheart" mother said with a sad face. That's when I realise that it's the 5th anniversary of my father death. Soon I sit down, and my mum comes over kisses my little brother on the head "good morning sweetheart" this time she sounded a little more excited, my little brother sat down and pulled what seemed 5 eggs and 7 strips of bacon, "Mummy", Eliot said spraying bits of bacon and eggs every where "why is Daddy in the middle of some candles", the room when silent for what seemed minutes. That's when my mother broke the silents "remember this is the date when daddy left us to go on a long trip," she paused and then I butted in "yes Eliot 5 years ago Daddy left for a long trip, and now his adventuring the North Pole where Santa lives." See Eliot was only 4 he wouldn't understand what was happening. "Yes that's right dear, do you remember" mother looked at me as if I was doing a great job until "oh Yeah that's right," Eliot continued " do you think daddy will send a photo with Santa and send me a prezzi" my mum and I started to stare at each other as if we where lost for words but I can't be not me. "Um dads very busy so he," yet again the room went silent. Eliot had the saddest face we have ever seen, that's when I had the idea, "Mum I think we can speak to father and make him take a photo," that's when I winked a smart idea to my mother's head.
