Letter II - To My Treasure

“The absence of a loved one always hurts” Louane

My Treasure,

Tonight, as I came it the house at usual hour, I saw you, all joyful, all happy and smiling you are preparing for this travel.

Stunned, I fixed my gaze on you and on this suitcase where you carefully stored your clothes and those of your mother.

My eyes moist I wanted to instinctively take you in my arms and kiss you warmly.

I wanted to tell you I can’t imagine you going to a life in a foreign country. Your absence will an unbearable emptiness.

Seeing you happy, I preferred to keep silent rather than bother you with questions that will be useless to you.

I wouldn’t dare, my treasure. I am ware this departure is a dream has haunted you for a long time, a hope you harbored day by day, and whatever my sadness to see you pack up, whatever my pain to see gain momentum towards another continent I can only submit, and pray for you all the time.

Your father who adores you more than you think.
