I Miss You!

Every Thursday we are together.
But not today.

We go to the pool. Or the shopping center.
Sometimes we visit the horses or just stay at home as I help you with your
homework.

I miss you.

That sweet, intelligent smile.
The care and understanding you express to all.

I miss you.

Teaching you about the world.
Who the neighbors of Israel are, where is Canada and China.
What 42 and 42 is and what Givati, Golani and Handasa Kravit are.

I miss you.

Asking to be with your friends and picking them up.
Your smiles and laughter merge as you play on the beach.

I miss you.

Asking for cola or ice-cream and not taking a no.
Brushing your teeth as you awake.
Playing with Gingy and Tiger, your two furry friends.

I miss you.

Scratching your back.
Holding your hand.
Teaching you to look both ways when you cross the street.

I miss you.

Eating breakfast, lunch or dinner together.
Smiling as you sing and smile in Beit Knesset.

Yes, daddy misses you and has been told not to discuss the court custody case.
But NO ONE can tell me not to miss you!

To stop loving you.
I will always be here for you.

These days and hours will not come again.
They have been lost forever.
But always know my sweet, little girl, please know and never forget:

I miss you.
I love you.
I always will.

Daddy
