Writing Come Home Soon [PG] (9/11 Dedication)

[Talon]

[color=royalblue][b][12/1/2001][/b][i] Hello, Daddy. Mommy says when I want to talk to you, I should talk to this stone and you'll hear me. I just want to tell you I love you, Daddy, and that I'm being a good girl. Mommy also told me today is your birthday, so I wanna tell you Happy Birthday, Daddy. I miss you, come home soon.[/i]

[b][9/11/02][/b][i] It's been a while, Daddy, and I miss you. Mommy says I should be proud of you for saving those people at the buildings, and I am, Daddy, I'm happy you helped all those people. Mommy says you're happy in a place called Heaven, but wherever you are, I hope you know I love you. I started first grade last month, and Mommy says that you'd be proud of me and how I'm doing. There's a bully in my class and he says that I'll never see you again, but I know he's wrong. When are you coming home?[/i]

[b][12/1/2002][/b][i] We had cake, today, Daddy. It didn't feel right, and I got a tummy-ache even though I only had one piece. I saved you a piece, Daddy, just for you, see? Here it is, Daddy. I love you, Daddy, and I'm trying real hard in first grade. Mommy says I might get to be the angel in the play this year, but I don't think so. I miss you, Daddy, please come home.[/i]

[b][9/11/03][/b][i] Daddy, I miss you so much. Everyone says I should be happy to get to be the angel in the play this year, but I'm not. I miss you, you should see me! I don't want to be an angel without seeing you smile like you're proud of me. I learned how to swim without you holding me up, Daddy, but it still hurts. I want you to hold me up and smile and call me a good girl again. I love you Daddy. Please come home soon.[/i]

[b][12/1/2003][/b][i] Happy Birthday, Daddy. I learned how to tie my shoelaces by myself, so no more sticky-tie shoes. Mommy says you'd be happy for me, and that makes me happy, but I still miss you, Daddy. I want you to read me a story tonight, Daddy. I leave the nightlight over my bed on, so you can kiss me goodnight every night. When are you coming home, Daddy?[/i]

[b][9/11/2004][/b][i] I'm sorry, Daddy. I know you told me never to cry, that I shouldn't be sad, but it hurts so much, Daddy. I miss you, I wanna come visit you in Heaven, but Mommy says I can't. Oh, Daddy, I hope God's taking care of you. The people you saved visit us now, very often. They lay roses here where I talk to you, at the stone with your name on it. All of them cry, and it makes me cry. I cry harder when I see you in my dreams, telling me to be a good girl for Mommy. I miss you, Daddy. Please, please, Daddy....please be happy with God and his angels. I love you, Daddy.[/i][/color]

[color=darkblue]That was truly touching. It made me start crying about half way through, heh.

The way you present it the child's eyes seems so real. I'm more than certain that there is a little boy or girl somewhere who went through something like this. Everything about it pretty much has "Innocence" and the naivety of a young child written all over it.

A very wonderful work and tribute. ^^[/color]

Wow, that really was amazing, I know I've told you that I was crying and really on about the 3rd paragraph I just broke down. I didn't know anyone personally that got hurt, but really, I think everyone would be touched by something like this.

You're a brilliant writer and I always tell you that, I don't think I tell you enough actually.
Everything that could have been said about this, Lady K has already pointed out.
Personally, I think it's flawless.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=orange]Very touching. That is an amazing piece, and I almost cried. The only reason I didn?t is my eyes hurt too much. *shifty eyes* This is amazing, and very sad. I love it. Thank you for sharing it with us. A marvelous tribute. *can?t find enough good words to describe it*[/color][/font][/size]
