Why I Want to Get Home
(From Japan)
Anna was having one of her bedtime tantrums on the Saturday before Daddy had to leave for Japan. Daddy tried to read to her, but she was insisting (loudly) that only Mommy would do. So, Daddy handed her over, then said "See you in a week".
At that, Anna stopped crying, stood up and held out her arms to her Daddy. She clutched him tightly for a good 5 minutes before calmly getting back into bed.
It's very hard to leave after that. Daddy will be home very soon.
