Lilly POV

My Daddy is leaving for war. He is saddling his horse. My Momma died when I was born. My Daddy never blamed me but my Uncle does. I'll be living with him for a few years. I really don't like my Uncle.

My Daddy walks over to me and opens his arms. I run into them as fast as my 3 year old legs can. "Don't go Daddy." I say crying.

"I'll need to be gone until the war is over, then I'll find us a home in a new village far away from here. Alright?" Daddy says.

"Alright. Promise you will write?" I ask.

"I promise to you Lilly. I love you my darling daughter." He says holding me close. "Now I need to go. I'll see you as soon as I can." He says and we break our hug.

"I love you." I say.

"I love you to my darling." He says and gets on his horse and he takes off down the hill.

I didn't know at the time, but that was the last time I would see him in two and a half years.
