My tears came to a halt when a crying 5 year old girl came running in. i quickly picked her up and asked what the matter was, when she managed to steady her breathing she managed to say " the older kids at school were being mean to me and kept on asking where daddy was". Hearing those words come out of Libbys mouth broke my heart, i kissed her forehead and then sat her down on the island on the kitchen. She gave me a curious look and then whispered "mummy where is daddy?, i hesitated for a moment before i managed to say "Daddy is on a very long holiday to a beautiful placed called heaven and i will tell you more about it when you get older" i gave her a quick kiss on the lips before she ran off to her bedroom and started playing one direction loudly through her speakers. I hadnt hear their music in a while but i have to be strong and i can't let libby see me sad, i need to be the happy strong mummy i need to be.
