Huge, wet teardrops fell from under her eyelashes as she watched through the window.They were just getting to know one another. She’d heard him whisper, ‘You’re the reason I exist.’Mutiny in her eyes, she glared as her dad waved to her, while mom cuddled her saying, ‘He’ll be back from work soon, sweetheart.‘

awww I hope he comes back soon 🙂
Me too!
Awww that one is so touching. The kid’s emotions feel so raw!
Glad you liked it, Simran 🙂
Such a heartbreaking scene even though you know the dad will be back in a few hours.
Yes, and one scene that I would see every day for a few years.
Heart wrenching and so touching:)
Thanks Vishal 🙂
aww..how sweet is this! I hope he keeps his promise.
For her sake, so do I, Uma 🙂
Super adorable 🙂
Thank you 🙂 Welcome to my blog <3
Adorable 🙂 I remember when I used to wait for my dad to come back from work too. Super loving.
Yes, absolutely! My daughter used to have this exact expression on her face. Somehow the prompt took me in that direction. Thanks for sharing, by the way and welcome to my blog <3
Touching. I remember Mom telling me how I used to howl when Dad left for work. Reminded me of that.
Thanks Geeta. Makes one nostalgic eh? 🙂
That’s a sweet one, Shailaja. I have always thought that a daughter’s love for her father is indescribable, but I think you have manged to do that quite well in just a few words 🙂 Well done!
Isn’t it heart wrenching to leave our kid and go to attend other priorities… especially when you’ve promised them your time?
I do hope he comes back in time 🙂
My daughter used to cling to her dad’s leg when he left on work. Was so heartbreaking!
so touchinng!! I do hope he comes back .
Yes indeed, Raj. It’s just that work beckons 🙂
