"Mom?"

Lily looks up at me with tears in her eyes.

"I called for Mom Maria all day."

My heart aches at the confusion in her eyes, the sadness in her voice.

I kneel down on the lawn, holding out my arms.

She runs into them, hugging me tightly.

"Oh, sweetie," I say, stroking her hair.

"Mom Maria—she’s not coming back, is she?"

Lily pulls back and looks up at me.

"She had to go home, right? Like when we come home from Grandma’s house?"

My chest tightens at the look in her eyes—

part confusion, part hope.

"No, baby," I say, swallowing hard.

"Mom Maria—she’s not coming home."

Lily looks away, and I see the tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, Lily," I say, pulling her close again.

"She’s—she’s gone, baby. I’m so sorry."

Lily sniffs, wiping her face on her sleeve.

"I want Mom," she says, her voice breaking.

Oh, baby.

"I want her too," I say, holding her tight.

"We both do."

But even as I say the words, I know they’re not true—

at least not for Lily.

Maria was always more than a partner to me—

she was the love of my life.

But to Lily, she was Mom—

the other half of the best parenting team in the world.

Lily’s body shudders with sobs, and I hold her close, feeling her tears soak through my sweater.

I don’t care.

I’ll wear this sweater every day for the rest of my life if it means I can hold my baby girl like this.

"We’ll get through this together, sweetheart," I whisper.

Lily nods against my shoulder, and I feel a flicker of relief.

We sit down on the grass, the sun warm on our backs as I rock Lily in my arms.

"Remember when we planted those daisies with Mom Maria?"

I ask after a while.

Lily’s sniffles quiet, and she nods again, a small smile on her face.

"Let’s go see them," I say.

Lily nods, and I help her up.

She takes my hand, her grip firm around my fingers.

I squeeze back, feeling a lump form in my throat.

We walk over to the daisy patch, the flowers swaying gently in the breeze.

The sun is warm on my face, and I feel a sense of peace settle over me as I look at Lily.

She’s still sniffling, but she’s smiling now, her eyes fixed on the flowers.

I kneel down beside her, brushing my fingers over the soft petals.

"Remember how Maria loved these?" I ask softly.

Lily nods again, her smile fading.

She looks up at me, tears welling up in her eyes once more.

I pull her close, feeling her body shake with quiet sobs.

"Do you think she can see us from up there?" Lily asks, her voice trembling.

"I believe she can, sweetheart," I reply, trying to keep my own voice steady.

"Then let's make sure she sees us smiling," Lily says, wiping her tears and taking a deep breath.

I nod, feeling a lump form in my throat.

We sit there for a while, watching the daisies sway in the breeze.

Lily’s small hand grips mine tightly, and I can feel her eyes on me.

I look down at her, and she meets my gaze with tears still shining in her eyes.

"Mom would want us to be happy," I whisper, my voice steady despite the ache in my chest.

Lily nods solemnly, looking back at the flowers.

We sit there for a long time, the sun warm on our backs.

Then Lily stands up, picking a daisy from the patch.

She holds it out to me with a shy smile, and I take it gently.

"Let's keep this one for her," Lily says, her voice soft but determined.

I nod, tucking the daisy into my pocket.

"She'd love that," I reply, feeling a bittersweet warmth spread through my chest.

We stand there for a while longer, the sun shining down on us.

Then Lily’s grip on my hand loosens, and she steps away.

She looks down at the daisies, her eyes fixed on the flowers.

I watch as she kneels down, her fingers brushing over the petals with a tenderness that mirrors Maria’s touch.

Then Lily’s shoulders shake, and a soft sob escapes her lips.

I move closer, wrapping my arms around her small frame.

"It’s okay to cry," I whisper, feeling her body tremble against mine.

Lily turns into my embrace, tears flowing freely now.

"Do you think it ever gets easier?" she asks, her voice muffled against my chest.

"I think it does, but it's okay if it takes time," I reply gently.

Lily pulls back slightly, looking up at me with a newfound determination.

"I want to make Mom happy," she says, her voice firm.

I nod, feeling a lump form in my throat.

"We can do that," I reply, my voice steady.

We stand there for a while longer, the sun warm on our backs.

Then Lily looks away from the daisies, her gaze drifting towards the edge of the park.

I follow her gaze, watching as a group of children play together near the swings.

They’re laughing and shouting, their smiles lighting up the afternoon sun.

Lily’s eyes stay fixed on them, her grip on my hand tightening slightly.

"Do you want to go join them?" I ask softly, sensing a longing in her gaze.

She hesitates for a moment, looking back at the daisies.

Then she nods tentatively, releasing my hand.

We walk towards the laughter, leaving the daisies behind.

As we get closer, Lily’s steps slow, her gaze fixed on the children.

I can feel her hesitation, the uncertainty that’s been a part of our lives since Maria passed.

I stop in front of her, kneeling down to meet her eyes.

"It's okay to feel unsure," I say softly, brushing a stray hair from her face.

She nods, biting her lip.

Then a little girl waves at Lily from the group, beckoning her over.

Lily glances up at me, seeking reassurance.

I smile encouragingly, and she takes a tentative step forward.

The other children turn to look at her, their faces lighting up with smiles.

Lily hesitates for a moment, then joins their game, her own smile growing as they welcome her in.

I watch her for a moment, feeling a mix of pride and sadness.

"She's going to be okay," a voice says softly beside me.

I turn to see Maria's sister, Emma, standing there, her eyes filled with understanding.

I nod, feeling a lump form in my throat.

"She is," I reply, my voice steady.

Emma smiles, her gaze drifting towards Lily.

"She's strong, just like her mom," she says softly.

I nod again, watching as Lily laughs and plays with the other children.

The sun shines down on us, casting a warm glow over the park.

Then, without warning, dark clouds gather overhead, blocking out the sun's rays.

The laughter of the children fades as they look up at the ominous sky.

Thunder rumbles in the distance, growing louder with each passing moment.

I look over at Emma, seeing concern etched on her face.

"Let's get the kids inside," she says urgently.

I nod, turning towards Lily.

"Lily!" I call out, my voice carrying across the playground.

She looks up at me, her eyes wide with uncertainty.

"Come here, sweetie," I say softly, beckoning her over.

She takes a step towards me, but then a flash of lightning illuminates the sky, striking near the swings.

The sound of thunder booms through the air, making Lily jump in surprise. The playground erupts into chaos as parents rush to gather their children.

I sprint towards Lily, my heart pounding in my chest.

Emma joins me, helping to guide the other kids towards safety.

We reach Lily together, scooping her into our arms and shielding her from the storm's fury.

The rain starts pouring down around us, soaking through our clothes and hair.

We run towards a nearby pavilion, huddling together under its roof as the storm rages on outside.

Lily shivers against me, her small body trembling with fear.

"It's okay," I whisper softly, holding her close.

"We're safe."

The storm continues to rage on outside, thunder booming and rain pounding against the roof above us.

Emma looks at me, her eyes filled with determination.

"We need to keep her calm," she says, her voice steady despite the chaos.

I nod, wrapping my arms tighter around Lily.

The rain pounds against the pavilion roof, creating a deafening roar.

But inside, a quiet moment settles between us.

Lily's eyes meet mine, wide and questioning.

"Mom, I am said that mom Maria died," she whispers, her voice laced with confusion.

I take a deep breath, steadying myself before responding.

"Yes, sweetie," I say gently.

"But she's always with us in our hearts."

Lily nods slowly, her gaze drifting towards the storm outside.

The storm rages on, but in her eyes, I see the first glimmer of understanding.

The rain continues to pour down around us, creating a soothing sound that fills the air.

But Lily's shivering grows more pronounced, her small body trembling against mine.

I glance over at Emma, seeing concern etched on her face.

"We need to get her inside," she says softly.

"My house isn't far from here. We can warm up and get dry clothes."

I nod, scooping Lily into my arms and wrapping my sweater around her shivering form.

The fabric feels cool against my skin, but I know it will help keep her warm.

Emma leads the way, dashing through the rain towards her house.

We follow close behind, Lily clinging tightly to me as we run.

Finally, we reach the front door and step inside, the warmth enveloping us like a blanket.

Emma hands us towels and a change of clothes, which we quickly put on.

Then she leads us into the living room, where a fire crackles in the hearth.

The room is cozy and inviting, filled with family photos that tell a story of love and connection.

Among them are pictures of Maria, her smile shining brightly in each one.

Lily pauses in front of one of these photos, her gaze fixed on her mother's image.

A soft smile spreads across her face as she reaches out to touch Maria's cheek. I watch her, feeling a mix of heartache and comfort wash over me.

Maria may be gone, but in moments like this, I feel her presence all around us.

Emma joins us by the fire, holding out steaming mugs of hot cocoa.

"Here," she says gently, offering one to Lily and then to me.

We take them gratefully, sipping the rich liquid as it warms our hands and lifts our spirits.

For a moment, we sit in silence, letting the storm rage on outside while we find peace within these walls.

Then Emma speaks up again, her voice filled with warmth and understanding.

"It's okay to feel sad sometimes," she says softly, looking at Lily with gentle eyes.

"But we're here for you. We'll always be here."

Lily nods slowly, her gaze still fixed on Maria's photo.

Then she turns to look at Emma and me, a small smile spreading across her face.

"Thank you," she whispers softly, taking another sip of cocoa as we sit together by the fire. The storm rages on outside, thunder booming and rain pounding against the windows.

Emma glances at me, her eyes reflecting the flickering firelight.

"Do you think she knows how much Maria loved her?" she asks quietly.

I nod, feeling the warmth of the cocoa seep into my bones.
