I Miss Daddy
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was finally the weekend Shu Pan was waiting for. She woke up early and packed some gifts for her father and Auntie Lu.
She took the earliest bus back. She missed the little darling Joy too much.
She had not seen her for more than a month.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she heard the little girl's childish voice. "Grandpa, is Mommy really coming back to pick me up today?"
"Yes Little Joy, Grandpa won't lie to you. Just wait obediently." Shu Laide looked at Joy and his heart ached.
Because of him, Joy had lost fatherly love since she was young. He blamed himself all the time.
"Grandpa, does everyone have a father? Why don't I have a father? Hua said that a child without a father was born from a rock, is that right?" Hua was his neighbour's child and Joy's good friend.
"Silly child, everyone has a father. You have one too. You can ask your mommy." Shu Laide did not know how to answer, so he pushed the issue to Shu Pan.
