"I promise, when you get older I will explain!"

I guess that's the best answer you've got. I know, the last week has been hell for you. Dad did a real number on you. On your face, in your eyes...I see sorrow. Even in your voice I can hear deep distress.

Why am I not upset? I think what he did was horrible and very weak...yet I'm not angry at him. Feels more as if I lost respect for him. He was my superman. Always told me to stand up for my self and to never let anyone put me down. Last few years showed me that even a hero can become a loser. Because of his mistakes we're now running.

I just can't believe I will never see this place again. Just thinking about it makes it harder to breathe. I grew up here. All of my friends and relatives are here. All those great memories. Spending summers at Grandma's. Going fishing with all my cousins. Sledding and making snowmen with friends during the winter.

I've never seen Sergey up so early, yet he is out in this cold waving me goodbye. Funny part is that two days ago, he didn't believe me when I said we're flying to America. He kept saying that there is no such place as "Florida" and that I should stop making stuff up.

I'm going miss everyone so much!

I'm scared just thinking about what awaits for me...
