a little girl sits on her bed holding a teddy bear given to her by a woman thats no longer there it’s the middle of the night and she cant seem to fall asleep its her nineth birthday and she feels left alone her father came in from work and went to sleep after the party she could hear her brothers in the living room playing nintendo she quietly bends down and searches under her bed it is still there an old shoebox trimmed in red velvet lace inside the woman had placed three cards, a ring , and some tickets to the little girl’s third grade play the little girl looks sadly at the box she opens it up and inside there is a card for her eighth birthday, a card for valentines day and one just to say hi, a bar of dove soap is wrapped up in a paper towel the little girl picks it up and holds it close to her nose takes a deep breath and inhales the fragrance her mother use to smell like this she liked to snuggle up to her and breath the sweet fragrance a little gold ring with a red ruby lies at the very bottom she promised that she would keep it forever her mother left and this is what made her remeber she once loved her in this little box were all the memories she had a tear rolled down her cheek and she started to cry mommy why did you leave why she hugs her teddy bear tight and places everything back in her box and slides it under her bed where it will be safe she walks into her father’s room and kisses him on the forehead he is sleeping she giggles at how funny his moustache looks with he breathes out his nose the little hairs move and he opens his eyes when he hears her speak honey bee what is it he ask her he notices her tear streaked cheeks daddy why did she leave he hugs her tight she puts her little teddy bear in his arms and tells him thanks for staying
