Daddy says mommy won't be coming back for a long time.
She got tired of taking care of us, so she ran away with another man and did some crimes.
Now she will be living in her new home, in jail.
Daddy says the last time he saw mommy, she didn't look to good, she looked a little pale.
I hope mommy still loves us.
Sometimes, I see daddy with tears in his eyes.
Maybe, because mommy was not being nice, she told him many lies.
I don't think she told him the real reason she was saying goodbye.
When daddy goes to bed, he never un tucks mommy's side of the bed at night.
I see him hug her pillow and I want to cry, I don't think what mommy did was right.
Daddy, says someday I may have a new mommy to help me.
But, I look up at him in disbelief because I know someday mommy will be free.
Maybe mommy just didn't love daddy anymore.
I have seen it all in the movies, one falls out of love, while the other is left feeling so unsure.
Daddy says I have mommy's smile, but I have his eyes.
Well, I'm glad because I know when I get older I won't tell any lies because I have daddys eyes.
Come to think of it, I never heard mommy say I love you!
Maybe, she saw daddy in me to that's why she couldn't say I love you.
