we miss Daddy!

Daddy didn't come home last night as he had to be in camp and he won't be back tonight as well.

Cheryl greeted me happily when I returned from work yesterday and we had some time to ourselves. 2 hours later, she heard the clanking of keys at the door and minutes later, the door opened. C immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at me before exclaiming aloud, "Daddy!"

But when she ran to the door and found that it wasn't her Darling Daddy, she came back to the room with a face so sad, it was enough to break anyone's heart. Then she went on to say, "Later, later Daddy will come back. And I had to remind her that he wouldn't be back and she went all teary eyed again.

Last night, she went to bed without any fuss: not her usual antics of climbing onto our bed and waiting for her Daddy to ambush her while she drank her milk or hiding under the covers for her Daddy to come hunt for her either. She just quietly climbed into her bed and pulled her blanket over herself and closed her eyes.

I wonder how she would be later on tonight... .

But the good news is, Daddy will be back tomorrow! :)

Yes, of course I miss you too, Dear.
