"Honey, I love you to the earth and back." At first I had no idea what he was talking about. In the evening while my mom was sleeping a taxi drove by my house. My dad was dressed in a black tuxedo with a red ribbon in the middle. His eyes were red just like the ribbon it seemed like he has cried for years.
" h-h-h-on-e-y" he trembled forcing himself to finish what he was saying. "Papa why are you so sad?" I asked a little scared. "I am going to New Zealand for a few weeks. "It's just for a few weeks why are you sad?" I asked. "And what is New Serlens?" " New Zealand is a place far away. " he forced a smile making sure I won't be hurt. " you see, I have a terrible sickness and I am worried i won't be back in time." He said sadly. "It's fine I know you will make it just have hope." I said cheerfully."I got that "hope" word from a TV show called Jessie." I said.
A few weeks later my father didn't come back, months my father didn't come back, years my father didn't come back...
I was a total wreck just like my mom.
