Look After Me

Last Chapter

Alright, Mrs.Parrish, thank you so much for your time. We are so sorry for your loss. 

They hugged me, and walked out the room.

I got up and grabbed his sweater but two pieces of paper fell out. 

The first one read Angel, and the second read "To the love of my life"

I sat back down and read the one that said Angel first.

Hi babygirl, well, I hope Mommy found this letter in my sweater. I know it's her favorite sweater, she used to wear it alot before we got married. But I wrote this just in case I wasn't able to play dollies with you, you must be so big now. Remember, that I always love you okay? I'm always gonna be playing dollies with you, and be good for Mommy okay? I love you, stay safe, and do good in school. I miss you. Love, Daddy

I was in tears. How could I have not seen this? He must've put this in the pocket before he left. 

I took a deep breath and opened the one that was meant for me. 

Hi babe. Well, it seems you've found my letter. I will miss you so much. Take care of yourself and Angel okay? I'm so sorry that I didn't get to come home, but please know that I love you and I will always look after both my favorite girls in the world. You're silly and pretty and I pinky promise you that I will watch after you. I love you so much baby. 

I was sobbing, but I laughed when I saw the picture he drew of me and him as stick figures holding hands at the park.

Just like in the letter he wrote for me in the 1st grade.

I wiped my eyes.

"Thank you baby, I love and miss you so much, look after me."
