I happily walked back to my room as I saw my mom sitting happily on my bed. She held out both arms and I raced over to her crying. "H....he isn't home" I said in between tears as my mom held me close to her chest, stroking my hair. Its because you're not good enough. He went to find a better daughter. One that wouldn't let him go. Why did you? You idiot. You let him leave. Now he's gone forever. My mind wouldn't stop tormenting me. "I know honey, I know" she said as she kissed my head. "Is he coming back?" I forced out of my sobbing self. Silence. It was like a dagger slicing through my chest. It only made me sob harder. I missed him. Did he miss me? Bradly? ......mom?

I wondered that for years. Because you see, I haven't seen my dad since he left that week for work. Bradly and mom forgot about him.

I didn't.

It makes me wonder, did he ever really love me? Was it just a big joke? A big, crule, hideous act? I guess that I can't really complain. We have a perfect family. Me, mom, bradly. And Bennet, our new puppy. But it just feels like there's a hole. A hole that's been there ever since daddy left, 3 years ago. Everyday daddy's gone, that hole burns a little. But it will eventually patch up one day, right?
Right?
