Chapter Three – Wyatt: Daddy why didn't you come?
Dear Dad,
It was my tenth birthday yesterday, I sent you an invitation and everything, but you didn't come. Daddy why didn't you come? I was disappointed you didn't come, I tried to have fun without you, and it was fun but I kept hoping you'd come through the door. Seeing how you didn't make it to my birthday, will you try and make it to Chris or Mel's birthdays. I hope you can make it to theirs. Because I'm older I know you can't always be around, and I won't cry because you're not there. But Chris is only 6, almost 7, so he's still quite little see, and I think he still needs his dad. Not that I don't…just not as much. And well, Mel's still a little baby, so she can't understand if you aren't there. And I think it would be nice if you could come for her birthday, cause I know she loves you, and you can make her smile and giggle. I don't think she finds me very funny, because she doesn't laugh much at me.
Dad, why didn't you come, I was hoping you would. I even put the letter in the most obvious place, I put it in the bottom of your drawer, I looked this morning, just in case, and it wasn't there. So you see, you must have gotten it. But why didn't you come? Would they not let you? Are they really as mean as mommy makes them sound? I don't think I want to meet the people you work with. They sound horrible. Mommy says they wouldn't let you be her boyfriend to begin with let alone her husband. She said they put you on 'probation' I think that sounds horrible. She said they were watching you, but that's a bit weird, did they really? She said before that you tried to get married in secret, but that it didn't work, and that they did finally let you get married. So they can't be all that bad. They must understand that it was my birthday. I'd let my workers be at home for their son's birthday, especially their 10th birthday. 'Cause 10 is kinda important, isn't it? Its double digits. I think it means that I'm not really a child anymore, but I'm not a teenager yet, I will be soon though.
Will they let you come down for your anniversary, because that's like super special? If they won't let you down for our birthdays or even you and mom's wedding anniversary, what will they let you down for? They have to let you down sometimes. They have to give you holiday, isn't that the law or something? I hope you can come and spend some time with us during summer vacation; we could go on a proper vacation this year, just like a real family. And we can pretend to be normal. No magic, no elders, no demons. I think that, and you are all mommy wants. She always says why can't we just be normal. I'd like to be normal too, but isn't magic kinda fun.
I got some good presents for my birthday, but best of all is when mommy said she might think about letting me do magic again; you remember that she took my powers away. She said if I was good, because I was growing up and becoming more responsible that I might be allowed to start doing magic soon. I can't wait, I think its fun. But she said I won't be able to use them on Chris and Millie (That's Mel's new nickname, Chris gave it to her, I can't remember why, I think he said it sounded better than Mellie, I think it suits her), as they don't have theirs yet. Wouldn't that be funny, do you think Mommy and Auntie Phoebe, and Auntie Prue used to use magic on each other when they were little.
Guess what Daddy? I got to see Auntie Prue, and Grams and Grandma on my birthday. Grandma said that the name 'Grandma' made her sound old, but she is kind of old, isn't she? I mean she must be because she's Mommy's mom, but she doesn't look it, that's because she dies, right? Chris and Millie still call her Nana though. I noticed Mommy crying when she saw Auntie Prue, she often does, but we don't see her often, I think I've only seen her three or four time. I haven't asked, but do you think Mommy cries because it still hurts, and to see her there, and know she can't stay? I think even I might cry if that happened to Chris or Millie. I can't really imagine life without them.
I hope you did get that letter and this one too. I'll put it in the same place, so you'll know where to find them. Oh, I just thought that perhaps if that letter had fallen down the back then you would never have gotten it. So you didn't miss my party, you just didn't come because you didn't know about it, but I'm sure it didn't. So I think it was your mean, mean boss's faults.
My friend David has a dad who works in some big company, he's often travelling. But at least he can go to David's birthday parties, how come you can't have a normal job like that.
I think Mommy would have like it if you'd have come to my party, I heard your name, when she talked to one of my friend's moms. Mommy seemed upset, I think she missed you not being there, because you have been before. Even on my first birthday, mommy says the elders were being mean to you then, but if you could come then, why not now? Is it because you're one of 'them' now? You don't treat people like they treated you, do you? We're always being told at school that we have to be nice and treat other people how we want to be treated, so I hope your not. Just remember how it felt.
I got two new games for my games console, one of them is a race car driving one, and I think you would like it. I wish I could play it with you, it's multiplayer, but I don't think Chris would be a very good driver, not yet. But, I guess that might be good, because then I'd win all the time, though he'd probably tell Mommy and she'd tell me to play fair, but I can't if he's not as good as me, can I?
Please come back soon,
Wyatt
