She just said dad

"she just dad".. I say to my wife...

"No she hasn't" rolling her eyes she answers..

"But..." she interrupts me saying: "honey, she won't say anything till a year.. ok?"..

"I know but maybe…..ok"...

again my thoughts drift to the bills.. "don't worry" she says.. she still reads my mind.. even after 7 years she still can...

"maybe I should ask for a loan"..

"you can't honey.. you already did"...

"maybe I will sell the land"...

she smiles like if to a child...

"I know that my brother is already trying... but he didn't contact me for a week. He should have already contacted me… he said he will as soon as he manages to..."..

"you worry too much" she says...

"it's a great load.. I must worry.. and she has the right to be brought up well.. we waited 6 years.. and tomorrow is the last day.. Everything will be lost.. I can't.." ..

"nothing bad will happen.. you'll see".. She says, again..and I always feel like her child.. she has been so since I first knew her.. she gave me all that I ever wanted, and more. yet I gave her nothing.. but I want to.. I want to make her the happiest woman on earth. did I fail her? I pray I haven't.. yet she comforts me.. How noble is she..

I once thought of killing myself.. Ending their misery.. but I didn't, I knew God will help me.. I believe in God.. and I thank him for all that I have been given.

When my wife knew she cried for 3 days n nights.. when she stopped she didn't blame me.. but I vowed not to let her down again.. now that I look into my daughter's eyes, I wonder how I have ever thought of leaving her. not to enjoy these giggles.. God, I am lucky!

"I still think she said dad..." I say stubbornly while my brother knocks on the door..

This is one of the most beautiful things I ever read. It brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it and it still gets me whenever I read it.

This has a very sad yet somehow hopeful touch; i feel there's more to come, it's not over yet.

Your words are very expressive, not fancy or long words, but say a great deal.

I think you've left out a word in the first line?

Thank you for sharing
