"Mommy" my little angel smiles as she runs off the bus ride home from school.

"Hey, princess! How was your day at school?" I smile as I hug her.

"We played kick ball!" she beams.

"Really?" I ask.

"My team won!" she smiles. "When's daddy coming home?"

"He'll be home tomorrow sweetie" I answer.

"Can't he come home now?" Joelle asks.

"Just go play with your dolls." I sigh. Raising her is so difficult. Especially without Joe around. She runs off to her room. Which then my phone rings.

-phone call-
"Hey babe" Joe.

"Hey. I miss you" Galina.

"I miss you too. But I'm sorry but I need to to go to Hawaii for um some um promo stuff. I won't be coming home until next um weekend." Joe.

"Joe you know you can't miss this weekend!" Galina.

"I'm sorry babe. I have to" Joe.

"Fine. I'll tell Joelle that her dad won't be coming to her daddy/daughter dance again" Galina.

"Shit. I forgot that, that was this weekend" Joe.

"I'm sure she'll understand that you have to miss it" Galina.

"No no I'll talk to Vince and let him know that I can't go. I'll come home" Joe.

"It's no big deal" Galina.

"I don't want to disappoint her again. And I want to see my beautiful wife" Joe.

"Awe Joe. I love you." Galina.

"I love you too. See ya tomorrow" Joe.

-end phone call-
I hang up and then go check on my daughter.

"Mommy play with me!" Joelle begs.

"Ok just for a little. I have to start dinner soon." I smile.
