The patter of little feet was heard from the hallway of a not so big apartment, then there was sudden silence. But suddenly the question you were most afraid of was heard: "Where is dad?" The boy's most innocent and pure gaze was directed at his mother, who in despair did not know how to answer her son's question. She did not know how to explain that dad was no longer with us, not in this world at all. It is unlikely that a boy who is 4 years old will understand that his strongest and most beloved dad was stabbed in the side with a sharpened object while he was returning from the store.

The little boy's question was repeated again, but in response there was only silence and a sad look from his mother. At the mere memory of your husband, you burst into tears. Tears unconsciously filled your eyes, and your head dropped down, apparently so that your son would not see his mother's tears. But the boy understands perfectly well that his mother is upset, although she does not know why. But the little one tries with all his might to console his mother:

"Mom, why are you crying?"

The boy carefully came closer to you and gently hugged you around the neck.
