Heart wants what it wants!

 

“Yay! I made cupcakes!” Came running, my 5-year-old as I was at the garden, showering the plants and the fresh flowers he planted with love. It has been 3 years since he left abroad leaving her and me behind. I’ve always felt at peace whenever I took a stroll in our garden, as it gave the fragrance of him. He never forgot to face time before I went to bed and talk till I sleep. He captures my sleepy face sending it on the next morning making me blush throughout the day. He sends in flowers as surprises now and then assuring his presence from time to time. He sends her chocolates and teddy bears to play with making her call him, “Best dad on Earth!” 

Despite all these, do we miss him? his touch? his presence?  

You know we have never shown our sad faces to him. Even the kid knows how to make her dad hold up his charming smile. Whenever she misses him, she comes running to me and hugs me tight. That literal tight hug! I feel her pain. I really could. She never drops down a tear but wipes mine off. She comforts me with her angelic little face lit up with a smile. That smile is what makes me survive storms!

Yes. We both know all these sacrifices are for our own good. Regardless of these, there is this corner of our hearts that does crave for his presence, every day, every single minute! Doesn't it?
