She stood up and walked over with her arms stretched out towards me, uncontrollably sobbing. I couldn't believe she was shocked or surprised even. If he did it once, who's to say he wouldn't have done it again?

I saw little Bell trying to be sneaky and look around the corner at us, so I waved at her to come over and she ran over to us and tried to hug us both with her small arms.

"its okay mommy, don't worry. Just remember what you always tell me when I cry, "this too, shall pass." Okay?"

Mom cracked a small smile, then picked her up and held her tight while Daisy played with our moms hair like what she does to calm down my sister.

This is why my Isabella is so special to me, she's our angel. She has such a sweet, and loving heart. She gave Mom a kiss on the nose and asked to be put down. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out into her room and i with out resistance, followed behind her. I am putty in this little girl's hands.

Later that night when I was reading Bella "Wee Monkeys"  before bed, all I could think about was the empty feeling in my chest and how it felt like it was getting deeper, and deeper. Am I actually sad about him leaving?

Again?

I just couldn't really wrap my head around it. Why did he even come, ignore was just going to disappear again?

"Isabella, how did you feel about lumber jack guy?" I asked

"He was nice. He looked scared to see me, and he held me and said I was beautiful and then he hugged me reeaaallly tight." She said "it wasn't right because Mom always says "do not talk to strangers", but she was just smiling and looking at me. It was kinda freaky."

Should I tell her who he really is?
