We left in October but got here in July... and now it's four months later and it's November here and back home, it's... That means today... today would be our daughter's birthday, AGAIN. And because of the time difference... It means I missed it TWICE! Our daughter's fifth birthday!! TWICE!! The FIRST one we would have spent together, and I'm not even THERE! Not there to make her THE BEST CAKE EVER, and decorate the house, and celebrate! I don't know how I'll ever make it up to her, she'll never get that I missed it two times... Wait. WAIT. does that mean she's two years older now?? My baby is growing up without me?! No WAY! Soon she'll be dating that little CREEP and then getting married and -

I don't think she'd be mad at all. Maybe sad, but... I think when someone has parents who really love them, it's something that they can keep in mind.

At least... That's how I feel about my own Mom and Dad.

And, you know -- this is all a dream, isn't it? I'm sure that no time will have passed at all when you wake up from all of this! Which probably sounds pretty strange, when you think about it....

[papartner]

Mad, sad, whatever it is. I don't want her to feel badly because I'm not there. I don't want her to know that I've been gone so long and I don't know when I'm coming back.

Even if she'll never know it, I will, won't I? So I'll definitely make it up to her.
Even if one day we just wake up back together again!!

[puellamagi]

Dreams are kind of strange in a way though, aren't they? Even though they seem long at times, when we wake up, it could only be a matter of hours.

But... I really hope that you can see her soon. Some people don't stay sleeping here for too long, right? Maybe you'll get to see her much sooner than you'd think.

[ this post will be even more embarrassing if he wakes up and he's just had a cat nap... assuming he remembers any of it, that is. ]

The thing is, there's been people here for years!! It's impossible to know how much time here is time back home and everything... But I hope you're right.

[puellamagi]

I hope so, too... At least, I know that there's a lot of people that are missed right now.

It'd be nice if we could come or go here whenever we'd like. Maybe that's selfish to want to be able to be in both places....

[papartner]

Maybe it is selfish, but you're not alone... even if I want to go home to Miri, I'll admit that this place has a bunch of stuff I like, and that I'd like her to see.

[puellamagi]

At the least, even if she doesn't end up here, then... you'll have a lot of fun stories to tell her.

But, even if it's a small chance that she does end up having the same dream as we are, I still hope that someday -- you'll be able to see her here.

[papartner]

Maybe one day. I guess we'll see. Though don't worry - if she does show up, I promise there's not one person who won't know her name.

( That's so sweet.... He seems like he's so proud to be her Dad. )

I really look forward to that day! I hope that if we can meet -- the two of us can be friends.
