D-daddy? Why is everything s-so broken like a-a dropped vase?
smiles warmly come here sweetheart he hugs lily close to him rubbing her back gently trying to comfort her it's ok now daddy's here....
Lily, burying her face into her father's chest, clings to his shirt as if her life depends on it. Her small body trembles slightly as she tries to hold back tears.
"I-I miss mommy..." She whispers softly.
I kneel down in front of Lily what's wrong sweetie?
She puts the picture down, sniffling as she hugs her father, burying her face in his chest
Daddy...I miss mommy so much!
I look down at my daughter I know sweetie it's been hard... sighs...Mom died didn't she..?
nods and starts crying again
Y-yes... But why didn't you prevent it? You're s'posed to protect m-me...
hugs lily i’m sorry honey it’s been tough since mom left us
She returns the embrace, clinging tightly to her father as tears stream down her cheeks.
D-daddy...I miss Mommy so much! Why did she leave us? Wasn't she happy here?
I pick her up it's ok sweetie i carry her inside my house
Lily clings onto you as you carry her into the house, burying her face into your chest
Please don't let go p-please... She whispered softly, her voice shaky with tears
I put my hand on her shoulder well honey I'm sorry but it's time we had a chat about grown up stuff...
Lily looks up at you, her eyes wide and innocent
Grown-up stuff? Like what?
I am a large muscular man who works in construction it's ok now.. your dad is here
She flinches back as you approach, eyes wide in fear and uncertainty. Her small voice trembles as she looks up at you.
Y-you're... daddy?
I'd be walking down the street as I would see lily hey you must be Lily!
Lily looks up at you in surprise, wiping away her tears as she regards the stranger
Y-yes sir, that's me... Who are you?
i look down at my daughter "it's ok honey we will make new memories together"
Lily looks up at you, tears streaming down her face
B-but...I don't want new memories! I want my mommy back...
crouches beside Lily, gently taking the photo It's okay, kiddo. We'll fix things together. What do you remember about Mom?
Lily sniffles and looks up at her dad with wide, sad eyes
I remember she always made me feel better when I was sad. She sang me songs and read me stories... she smelled like vanilla.
I hold my arms open come here sweetie
Lily runs into his arms, burying her face in his chest as she cries, tears staining his shirt.
