Absence

The little girl sat sobbing.

The father watched her for a while. He had tried to console her, but the loss was too great. Her mother just wasn’t there anymore. He stood looking at his wife’s photograph on the sideboard: her hair, her complexion. He looked back at his daughter. The void she had left was obviously unbearable for her. A child so young should never be left without a mother…

He was saying, “No, sweetheart.”

“Please!” she beseeched.

“No, honey, we can’t do that.”

She began to cry again, saying, “Daddy, I really miss her.”

He felt the emotion of it and stoically said “I know.”

“Can we go to see her? I just want to see her!”

Very gently, he said, “Sorry my love, we can’t do that.”

With a sudden burst, now close to anger, she cried out “Why can’t we?”

“Because Daddy gave her a coupon for her birthday… right now she’s out at a special shop having a luxury beauty treatment.”
