The Hubs left yesterday for Bahrain. Tee woke up at 2am crying for her father.
“Why does Daddy have to go to Bahrain, Mommy?” *sob-sob*
“Because Daddy has to work.”
“But why does he have to go Bahrain. Why can’t he work here?” *sniffle*
“Because he has work to do in Bahrain.”
“But why, Mommy? *choke-snort, sob-sob* Why can’t Daddy work here?”
“Because he has a meeting in Bahrain with the King of Bahrain.”
“I want my Daddy……*sob-sob*…….I really want my Daddy…..” *sniff*”
“He’ll be back soon. He loves you very much. Now go to sleep.”
“But why, Mommy? *triple sob* Why does Daddy have to go to Bahrain?”
“I told you. He has a meeting there. Daddy needs to work. Or we won’t have any money!”
“But I don’t want him to meet the King. I want him to meet me….” *sob-sob*
*After 27 sobbing But Why’s…… *
OK, I’m really losing my patience here at 2am as I’d just fallen asleep at 1am and this is way too much drama for me. Then she sobs,
“Is Daddy going to be here for my birthday???” *sniff-sniff*
“Of COURSE………………Daddy is going to be here for your birthday……!!!!!! Now, let’s go to sleep, OK? Cuz’ we have school tomorrow.”
The little munchkin rolls over and hugs her bear tight then pulls my arm around her body to hold herself tight, sobbing all the way.
My Daddy, My Hero……..
Does this scenario sound familiar? I would imagine not. From the people around me, I have not seen any child so attached to their Daddy as this little girl. It must be because I am such a tyrant at home 🙂
