1st year
Appa's Daughter
Yoona: 6 years old.
Hey, Appa! I want you to meet someone dear to me. It’s my toy, Rilakkuma. I call him "Kummie". He was one of Umma’s presents for me when I
celebrated my birthday this year. I was happy because I got lots of presents, but I was sad too... because none of them were from you. Umma
said that I shouldn’t be sad, because Appa celebrated my birthday in Heaven with God and Angels. Keke~ Did you eat cakes with them, too?
Umma, Yoongie and Kummie went to a place called "Cemetery" after we had our lunch today. Umma said that it’s been a year since Appa went to
Heaven, so we have to visit you. The last time I went there was the last time I saw you. I remember that I saw a lot big of stones on the grassy
ground before, but now... you also have your own big stone, Appa! Your stone looks different though. Your stone has a picture of you smiling, and
it’s shiny. The other stones don’t have pictures, and they look old.
Umma said you were sleeping under your stone, while your soul went up to Heaven. She whispered to Yoona not to be noisy, because I might disturb
you and the others sleeping under the stones. I’m Appa’s good girl, so I behaved. Umma said you would feel it if we kiss your stone. Yoong kissed
your stone two times just in case you didn’t feel the first one. Did you feel my kisses, Appa?
I looked up at Umma when I heard her crying, Yoongie hugged her waist to try and comfort her, Appa, but she was really sad and couldn't stop
crying. She said she misses you a lot, and she's really thankful for the beautiful gift you gave us before you went to Heaven. I was about to cry too,
but I remembered that I have to be brave just like you. By the way, Appa, that gift was the best gift that you ever gave Yoong and Umma!
I remember when we found out about your gift. Umma took Yoongie and Kummie with her to a doctor. I didn’t understand what they were saying,
so Yoongie just played with Kummie. When we left the doctor’s room, Umma was so happy she showered me with kisses. I told her to kiss Kummie
too, ‘cause Kummie wants her kisses too. She told me that you gave us a final gift before you went to Heaven. I asked her what your gift was.
Umma pointed at her tummy.
I got mad at Umma, because she ate Appa’s gift by herself without sharing it with Yoongie and Kummie. But she told me it’s not a food, and that I
should not get mad, because your gift inside her tummy would grow as big as Kummie, and I would get to see it as soon as it comes out. I didn’t
understand, so Umma explained that I would be able to feel and hear the gift inside her tummy someday, and that it was a special gift made out of
Umma and Appa’s love. She also told me that Yoona was once a gift too inside her tummy. Is it true, Appa?
Umma’s tummy is small now. Your gift for us did come out of her tummy! I am so hap
