Mommy where is daddy?

He's up in the sky.

Mommy why? Can he fly?

Sure sweetie you can say that, but if I'm specific I'm gonna cry.

Mommy why do you say that? Did daddy get hurt?

Yes sweetie, the depression ate him up for desert.

Mommy what do you mean? Is he ever coming back?

No sweetie, the depression had it last.

Mommy I don't get it. Daddy was a fighter...

I know my darling. But I guess this time was harder.

Mommy why did he keep his mouth shut?

I guess he didn't want to torment us.

So that is it? We will never see him again?

Tragically no my sweetie. Daddy has left.

We could've helped him Mommy. That is not fair.

I know I know. But daddy didn't say, he didn't want us to care.

Mommy you won't leave like daddy right?

No sweetie, I will never let pain eat me alive. No matter what. :-)
Your daddy loved you,  he loved us.
He watches us from above,
and he cares for us.

I know mommy. I love daddy, and I love you.

Oh sweetie I love you too.
