I hold my best friend, Mr Bear
Trying to hide from the monsters
Everynight I dream about you
But why aren't you here?
Was I not pretty enough
or didn't you like my hair?
Aren't Daddy's supposed to stay with us
to chase away our fears?
I'm all grown up now
I made it without you
There aren't any monsters
Mr Bear isn't needed anymore
I put on a brave face
so nobody can see
there's still a small part in me
that's wishing you were here

Beautifully done, obviously this came straight from the heart.
When I was five my dad won me a large stuffed Bugs Bunny. two decades have gone by and I still have Bugs. Every now and then I give the old Waskly Wabbit a hug.

This is a sad story. I was fortunate enough to have my father come back at all. There was a moment where he would never come back, and i wasnt even born yet, but luckily he did, and i still have a father. Although he is traumatized, and there are moments where he doesnt seem like a father, i know he is fighting his demons, and that in the end, it all comes down to him still being here.
