Let Her Go Part 2

Hey! So I know that the last part of this made many people cry and I am so sorry! So this is mostly fluff to make up for it! :)

Staring at the bottom of your glass

I was staring at the bottom of my glass that was once filled with Diet Coke. Thea was growing up so fast. Stephanie's death feels so long ago but also like it was yesterday. Thea came bounding up to me. Her brown hair pulled back into two pony tails, dressed in bright pink overalls, with a goofy grin as she climbed into the seat next to me with her stuffed rabbit in hand.

"Hi sweetheart!" I greeted as I ruffled her hair.

"Dad can you tell me more about mommy?" Thea asked with a curious look on her face.

I smiled as I began to talk about Stephanie barely holding back the tears. As much as it hurts talking about her it makes me happy Thea wants to know more about her. In a lot of ways Thea reflects Stephanie more and more every day.

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

There is nothing I want more than to show Thea how wonderful her mother was. I want her to see how much she is loved. Thea is my world and I want to show her how beautiful the world can be if she keeps her eyes open for the light.

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

Thea dreams big just like me. Just like her mom. She wants to be an astronaut and a ballerina dancer and a scientist! My latest dream? Get food on the table. Make it to the live stream. Find Thea a new mom. However, the team at Theorist HQ are now more like family then ever. They are her honorary aunts and uncles. Along with our many friends and family who are willing to drop anything and everything to help.

You see her when you close your eyes

I have been trying to date for a while but I can't seem to find anyone. Every time I close my eyes I see her smiling face. I hear her laughter if I listen hard enough. Everything reminds me of her. I know I can't look for another Stephanie. She is one of a kind. So I am going to have to look for something new.

Maybe one day you'll understand why

"Dad? Why did mom die?" Thea asked one day out of the blue.

I was caught off guard by this question as I chocked on the Diet Coke I was drinking. After coughing for a few seconds I smiled sadly at my daughter.

"Mom died so she can be your guardian angel and watch over you always." I replied picking my daughter and sitting her on my lap.

One day when she is older I will tell her the full story but for now Stephanie was a Guardian Angel.

Everything you touch surely dies

Skip died today. I have no words to describe how much I will miss him. Stephanie and I loved him. Thea adored Skip and Skip adored her. Skip would sleep with Thea. He was so over protective of her and she of him when they both got older.

I feel like I lost another part of myself when Skip died. I wept so hard today.

"Dad?" Thea came up to me and tugged on my hand as I stood over Skips grave.

"What is it sweetie?" I asked staring down at her giving her a weak smile.

"Do you think Skip is a guardian angel cat like mommy?" Thea asked innocently tilting her head.

This made tears slip down my face again as I laughed quietly.

"Dad! Please don't cry!" Thea said clinging onto me like I was her only life source.
