“Daddy loves “ME!”
One more remembrance of “DAD” – just have to let the world know that – to be with your “MOM” and “DAD” are the most important things in a child’s life!
As a small child I just could never understand why we had to go to the “Orphan Home”. That was the most miserable place to be when you have a MOTHER and FATHER that are alive.
When we were at the “Orphan Home” – and it was in “September” – getting near to being my “Birthday” – I had the surprise of my life! I received a birthday card and I do not remember of any one else ever receiving mail much less a “Birthday Card!”
This is the way they do it at the “Orphan Home.” The mail comes to you – care of the Orphan Home – the Mother Superior and your teacher – one of the nuns reads and inspects the mail. If there is something you should not know of and or see – it is so very nicely removed. You could be lucky to even get what you where suppose to get.
Anyway, when I came to class this day before “my birthday” – there is a card addressed to me and it is on “my desk” in the class room. I was so tickled to receive this piece of mail – and to see that – it was from my “DADDY!” I took it with me everywhere I went! It was the closest thing to being at home with my parents.
This card was so special because it was about me. The nursery rhyme all about “Mary – Mary so contrary – how does your garden grow… three or four pages of beautiful drawings and verses. This was something I wanted to keep forever – but in a “HOME” as this was – someone evidently wanted it so much , as to steal it from my locker.
I may not have the card any longer, but I will always have the memory in my heart. My “DADDY” loves me so much – he sent to me the very best!
