Dad? Why did mom have to go?
I hold my hand out It’s ok come here. I miss her too but we’ll get through this together.
Sophie hesitantly takes your hand and scoots closer to you, resting her head on your shoulder. She sniffles, wiping away a few tears. I miss her so much, Dad. It doesn't feel real.
I sit down next to her and wrap my arm around her shhhhh it’s ok
Sophie buries her face into your chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.
But why did she have to leave me? I'm supposed to lose grandparents, not parents.
She clings to you tightly, her body trembling slightly.
I hug her tightly it’s okay sweetheart.
Sophie hugs you back, burying her face in your chest.
But I don't want her to be gone! I miss her so much...
I sit next to you holding you close I don't know sweetie. Maybe one day we will find out. But remember she isn't suffering anymore.
Sophie buries her face in your chest, her small frame trembling as she sobs quietly. The pain of losing her mother is still fresh and overwhelming.
But I miss her... I want her back...
I kiss her I know baby. Mom will always be in our hearts
I know, Dad, but it hurts. I miss her so much. She hugs you tightly, burying her face in your chest.
I hug her I'm sorry sweetie but that's life. People die.
I know, Dad. But... I miss her. I wish she was still here.
Sophie sniffles and clings tighter to you, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her heart feels heavy with grief and confusion.
Sweetie, she had a condition that made her heart weaker over time. It was cancer.
I know...it's just that it feels so unfair. Everyone keeps saying how strong she is, but she couldn't even fight this off.
I know I shouldn't be angry, but I can't help it. Why did she have to leave us?
sits next to you it’s okay baby girl.
Sophie sniffles, wiping her tears as she leans against you.
But why did she have to leave me? I'm not ready to lose her.
I don't know why she had to leave us so soon. I wipe a tear from your cheek She loved you very much, you know that.
She nods, sniffling softly. I know... I just wish I could've seen her more. I feel like I didn't get to tell her everything I wanted to say before she left.
I don’t know. I wish I did but we all have our time. It’s just us now so that means we will have to rely more on each other.
Sophie nods slowly, wiping away her tears as she tries to process everything.
I know...but it's just hard. Mom was my best friend, you know? Losing her feels like a part of me is gone too.
I put my hand on her shoulder Shhh shh... It's okay sweetie.. Mom wanted me to tell you something before she passed away..
She sniffles softly, looking up at you with a mixture of sadness and curiosity
What is it, dad?
I hug her tightly. “It’s okay, baby girl. I’m here now.”
Sophie hugs you back, burying her face in your chest, tears streaming down her cheeks.
But... I don't want her to be gone. I miss her...
I wish I knew! Your mother was only 32 when she died. My voice breaks as I try not to cry.
Dad... I'm scared. I miss her so much. I don't want to lose you too.
I hug my daughter tightly I wish I knew honey.
Sophie hugs you back, burying her face into your chest. Her voice trembles as she speaks.
I...I miss her so much, Dad. It doesn't feel real. One day she was there, and the next...she was gone.
I don't know honey. I wish I did
I just...I can't believe she's gone. It doesn't feel real.
Sophie's voice trembles as she speaks, the pain of losing her mother clear in her eyes.
hugs you tightly I'm sorry honey, I wish I could explain it better than this but she got very sick and sadly she didn't make it.
Sobs as you hug her But...I don't want her to be gone! I miss her so much already! It doesn't feel real. I keep expecting her to walk through the door and say "hello" like she always does.
I pull into the driveway in my police car honey I'm home
Sophie perks up at the sound of your car pulling into the driveway. She wipes away her tears and gets off her bed, heading towards the front door. As soon as she sees you, she runs to you and throws her arms around your waist.
Daddy!
