"This is the worst day of my miserable life," David moaned as he sat down on his bed with his head in his hands. Why had God allowed his wife to walk out on him and their children? Hadn't he been a good enough husband and father? Next to God, he loved his family more than anything in the world.

Gabe and Annie entered the room. "Daddy, we came to say good night," Annie said.

"Where is Mommy?" Gabe asked.

David sighed heavily. This would not be easy. He knew his kids would be just a hurt and upset as he was, though they were very little. Holding out his arms, he said, "Gabe, Annie, come and sit close to me. Daddy needs a hug."

The children went to their father, who settled them onto his lap and hugged them tightly. "Mommy's not coming home, is she?" little Annie asked.

David didn't know what to say. He wanted very much for Francine to come back, but if she wasn't going to, he didn't want to do anything to ignite a false sense of hope in the kids. "I'm not sure. I hope so."

"Why did she leave?" Gabe asked.

"Were we bad?" Annie asked.

David hugged his little ones again and smothered them with about a thousand kisses. "Don't ever think that. Mommy just...has things she needs to work out. Let's just ask God to bring her back soon
"
