Once upon a time there was a little girl named Irene 

who lived alone with her daddy. She loved to play 

outside   with her animals, they were her friends. To 

everyone who knew her she seemed to be happy, but 

the truth is that she had a secret that no one knew 

about.  

Her mother and father divorced when she was 

very little. She was once told that her mommy 

wanted to be free from the responsibility of 

being a mommy and that really hurt.

Irene had many questions, she wonder what she did 

to have caused her mommy to leave. She wondered if 

she was maybe not pretty, sweet or kind enough. It 

must have been her fault, or why else would her 

mommy leave her? She started to believe that she 

was not good enough. She kept that question a 

secret hidden away in her heart. 

Sadness crept in and it was 

harder to play, to smile and 

to hide her pain...

The phone rang and Irene picked it up. 

She heard her mother's voice on the 

other side. She couldn't move and felt a 

bump in her throat making it difficult to 

talk. Her tummy felt sick and she didn't 

know what to say. Her mommy said she 

would come visit next week. 

The days past and her mommy wouldn't come. 

Irene worried and wondered if something bad 

happened to her mommy. 

She thought that maybe tomorrow she would 

arrive. 

A week went by and her mommy finally 

arrived. Somehow she hoped that things 

would be better. Her mommy brought a 

big luggage full of toys.....she was 

excited, but what she really wanted was 

for her mom to hold her and say "I love 

you". She wondered why her mother 

would not say that to her.
