Where is my Dad?

ONE fine afternoon, my daughter wake up from day-dreaming and asks her nanny uncle. Where is my Dad, where is my Dad? Uncle show himself and tell her that I'm here, my child. My daughter was very determine not to accept Uncle's answer by replying, No, no, I'm looking for my father from Singapore. Where is he now? She wears slipper by herself and walk out of the room. Uncle with surprise, seeing her doing things. She then step out of the house and look around to look for her Dad. Still cannot find. Then go further out of compound and see left, right, up and down while saying "where is my father", where are you now....'arrrr,,,,just now I see him, where is my Dad from Singapore?". The nanny couple were seeing her sadly and helplessly. 

I am very touch to learn the incident by my sister through mobile. I never thought she would suffer like that as she is younger than two years old now. I tried not to cry while listening my sister's words. From recent visit to Singapore to see parent, she might have recognized who is her real parent in life. We, people, underestimate the power of little child. In fact, they are developing everything amazingly, more than what we all think. People around my daughter said she become different after returning from Singapore visit. Perhaps, she is remembering her parent who suddenly disappear from her sight. She is too young to express her feeling as she cannot speak well. In such scenario, she show her feeling by behavior to surrounding people. Now again, she thinks her dream is real and looking for her Dad of dreaming. She might have though Dad she saw in dream is real. I, as a father of her, am really feeling bad for failing to stand by her. We have paid too much for some dollar here. We have made some invaluable mistake by leaving our little daughter alone. We won't be bear if she knows the true story one day and hate us for doing so. 

Oh my dear, it doesn't mean we don't love you by leaving you alone there with relatives. We're here to pave a smoothest ever life for your ahead. We too really miss you here. You father will come back home in a month time. After that, I promise you to give you quality family time despite your mum cannot accompany me. Life is sometime cruel, dear. It's inevitable and we seek your genuine understanding for that.
