"mom! dad just cut out." shopie called to her mom who was in the kithchen. her mom walked out of the kitchen, a towel in her hands.her mom hadwany blode hair. it was pulled back into a messy bun. she had on a wavy skirt that went to her knees that was a light blue and a blue shirt that matched the color of her skirt. she had on only a light cote of lipstick. she had the home phone is between one of her shoulders and her ear. she put her finger up ti signal, 'hold on'. sophie rolled her eyes. "yes, i well be there at 9:00...yes....I well work everday, until my husband comes back from iraq...yes, in 3 weeks." her mom said into the phone. her mom said thanks, and then hung up. he mom sighed and blew a piece of hair out of her face. "who was that" sophie asked. "my boss." her mom sighed, again. sophie nodded and got up from her chair. "so what did you want?" her mom asked. "um...the computer cut dad off." sophie said. walking toward the stairs, taking her computer. her mom nodded. "i well skype him tomorrow." her mom said as sophie walked up the stairs. sophie said ok andwalked down one of the hallways. she set her computer on her desk in her office and walked to her room. she closed her door and layed on her bed. she looked up at her shandeleer and watched the light reflectes of the pink, purple, blue and orange glass. she got up and walked over to her cubical. she pulled the picture frame off the top of it and rubbed the face on it. it was her dad, in his uniform. she smiled and set down the picture. she danced around her big room. she had one pick wall, one orange, one was purple and one was blue. she stopped dancin g and ran to her closet. she opened the 2 doors and ran into it (she has a walk in closet). she ran to the back and looked at the clothes. she wanted to look her best when she saw her dad. it had been almost 2 years. she got out one of her skirts, it was purple and had blue and green flowers on it. she picked a purple shirt and her brown boots. she folded her clothes and ran out of her closer. she set the clothes on her dresser and the boots by the side of her dresser. she went over and opened her jewelery bow. she picked a shiny thin silver necklce and a pair of matching earrings and a match bracelet. she put the on top of her clothes and she started to dance again. she was soo excited to see her dad in person. she stopped when she heard a knock on her door. she stopped and turned toward the door. "who is it?" she asked happily. "your mother." a voice came from the door. sophie ran to the door and opened it. her mom stood in the door way. she smiled. "i want to ask, what do you want for dinner?" sophie shrugged. "what about pasta and caesar sald?" sophie asked. her mom nodded and left. sophie shut her door and turned on her music. she picked out her swim suit for tomorrow and sat on her bed again. she got up, again and walked out of her room. she sut her door and walked down the hallway to a different door. she opened it and saw her brother was playing with his train. "dad was on the computer." she said, sitting down by her brother. her brother turned and looked at her. he nodded. " i am i hope he is here on my 5th birthday. that is in a month!" he said, letting go of his train. sophie nodded. "he well." she said, with a smile. jason stood up and jumped up and down. "you should of been down stairs, when we got a hold of him." sophie said slowly. her sbrother sighed. "i wish i was." he said in his funny little kid voice. sophie laughed. sophie stood up. "well, bye." sophie waved to her brother, but before she keft, she called to her brother. "lets go make cards for dad." she smiled. jason ran out of the room, down the hallways and down the stairs. sophie jogged after him and she stopped them in the living room. "stop running." she whispered. he nodded and sophie led the rest of the way to0 the toy room. when they got to the toy room, sohpie grabbed the mrkers and set them on the table. she grabbed the papers and sat down. she handed a piece of paper to jason, and they stared to draw.

sophie ran around her room. she was really excited. her dad was comin home in a week. she kept folding her clothes, making sure they were perfect. she smiled and she remembered she would be seeing her dad coming off the plane, him seeing his family, running toward them, swinging sohpie and jason in his arms, giving his mom a hug and a kiss on the cheek. sophie started to comb her hair again, when she heard a cry from down stairs. "mom?!" sophie called. sophie walked out of her room and shut the door. she walked down stairs, into the living room and saw her mom on the couch. she was about to get up, when she saw sophie, she sat down. "mom, what wrong?" sohpie asked, going over to her mom. her mom lifted her head, "why don't you sit down with me." her mom said, a tear rolling down her cheek. sohpie sat down and felt her moms hand rubbing her back. "hney," her mom started. "What?" sophie asked, more worried. her mom took a deep breath, another tear rooling down her cheek. "your father, won't be coming home,alive." her mom whispered. sophie shook her head. "no way, you ar ekidding." she said. her mom shook her. "no honey, someone came by today, with a note saying your father was...kil-killed in battle." her mom said, more tears coming down her cheeks. sophie studdered. "let..let me se..see this no...note." she said. her mom handed her a note. sophie grabbed the note and read it. she closed her eyes after she read the note. she set the note on the coffee table and ran up to her room. she locked her door and layed on her bed. she layed face down into her pillow, and she cried, she sometimes screamed into her pillow and said. "daddy!! why?!!!" or. "daddy, why did you leave me!!!!!!".

sopjie didn't go down to dinner, she stayed in her room. the 4 hours she layed in her bed criying, she heard jason screaming and cry. sophie would of run to his aid, but she was to heavy with sadness. she started to cry again and she whispered. "dad, why did this happen?" she whispered that until her mom knocked on the door. sophie didn't budge. her mom knocked again. "honey, please let me come in. please unlock your door." her mom pleaded softly. sophie shook heer head and cried. "mom, why did this have to happen?" sophie felt more tears drip on to her bed from her face. she could hear her mom sigh, "i can tell you if you let me in honey." her mom said. sophie got up and unlocked her door and she rn back to her bed. her mom opened the door and walked in. she walked over to sophies bed and sat on the edge. she rubbed sophie back. "sophie darling, i know this is hard. i know because i have felt it." her mom said, her eyes watery, a tear dripping fron her eye down her cheek. her mom sighed and whispered.

"honey, i am sorry, i can't say anything that can make you feel better, i try. i know its hard, how do you think i feel? i know him since middle school. it has been more than 10 years." her mom cried softly. sophie looked up. "i know i m being anger, but this is hard." sophie said, tears flowing down her face. her mom did a very weak smile.

She heared her mom close the door behind her. Sophie looked up and wiped her eyes. She went to her mirror and looked at herself. her hair was wet in the front from her tears and it was ruffles all over. her face was stained from the tears and her eyes were blood shot
