"Mommy, why did daddy leave?"

"Daddy passed away before you were born, honey."

"Passed away? What does that mean, Mommy?"

"That means to leave this world."

"Oh."

"H-He w-was a g-good m-maaaaaaaaaaaan."

"Mommy! Don't cry!"

"Mommy's okay, just never ask that question again, please, honey."

She has never told me how he died.

"Okay."
