The Perfect Family Chapter
3
I'm standing there, right next
to him, holding his hand tight. I'm 8 years old.
"Daddy?" I whisper softly.
"Yes Princess?" he mumbles back.
"Are you ever going to get home and get better?"
"I don't know yet honey, I sure hope so."
We were talking for a few minutes, about when I was littler.
He suddenly inhaled a deep, hard breath, then stopped
talking.
"Daddy? Daddy!" I yell at him. "Answer me
Daddy!" I cry.
"Ari? Ari baby, it's okay. Promise me one thing Ari,
okay?" he mutters weakly.
"Okay Daddy."
"Always remember me. Remember the fun we had. Remember when
I was happy, when we were happy. Don't remember me like this,
okay? If you keep me in your heart, and you'll always
remember, I'll always be with you." he says, patting my
chest where my heart was with his palm. I nod.
"Okay Daddy, I will, I promise."
"I love you baby girl, I always will. Please remember. I
love you." he weakly murmurs and puts his hand on my cheek.
I put my hand over his, squeezing it like we used to do. He
squeezes back, for the last time.
"I love you Aribear."
"I love you too Daddy, with all my heart." I
slowly whisper as his hand falls back onto his chest, and the
machine stops beeping.
