I've missed you, my daddy. I couldn't see past the back wall without you. But, how come I still fill this emptiness with you by my side?

I've missed you, my daddy. I couldn't see past the back wall without you by my side. It was like I was trapped in an endless void, never coming back. If felt… trapped. But, even though your back, why do I still feel this emptiness?

Sweet Heart...

Darling, I know it's been a roller coaster of emotions for you. But, I want you to know you have to stay strong. Your so sweet and fragile that I wouldn't dare to upset you.

However, you have those moments in time when, you know, you just reflect on your past. Though, your not thinking about the future.

This might sound cliche, but, you need to keep your head high. When your down in the dumps, daddy will always be here for you no matter what. I know I wasn't there for you in the past. Just, put the past behind you and look into the present... look into the future.

Mommy may not be here, but she'll always be in your heart. She'll be looking over you, letting nothing touch you. She cares about you, darling, and you need to remind yourself.

The past will never go away, it will always creep back up the horizon and I know how that feels.

When I got turned into stone, I lost everything. My life, my heart and you. Your mother wasn't around to witness the pain, but it would of still hurt her to know. When I got realised, all I wanted was the world, just so the pain wouldn't hurt. Although I got turned into stone once more, I got realised out of stone once more. My dearest friend Fluttershy showed me another way, that there will always be a brighter future.

She had faith in me and I appreciate it. We were very close, her and I. Defiantly not 'that close'. Although, I had the feeling we had something stronger between us, but I knew it would never work out. And honestly, it broke my heart. She was the first pony to reach out to me and always guide me in the right directons.

Maybe the future doesn't look bright now, but you need to trust me. Look through the eyes of your loved ones, and see what there future holds.

I look through your eyes and see a family with a loving daughter, a caring father and that missing puzzle piece of your heart, a mother. It may not be the same, but she'll always be there for you.

I don't know who, and nether do you. It's hard to predict the future, even for me. All I want you to do is take a step further in life, take that risk. And I know that risk will be worth it in the end.

Your are strong, Screwball. Even if you are a light hearted mare, you'll always be the daughter I knew. I love you, sweet heart.

Daddy...

My heart beats fast, blurring my mind. All the promises you made, faded into colors. You taught me how to be brave, but that didn't help after what had happened to you. I couldn't stop tearing my world apart after I saw you... stand there alone, in a cold, stone prison. It would never leave my mind, I would never leave you. That pain of quilt tied a string to my hooves.

I was always a step away from you.

I said to myself that I would die anyday just so you can be right by my side, everyday. I had doubt you would be gone forever, leaving all your memories behind you. Daddy, I would always love you for a thousand moons and more.

Time flies by, every second, all the time. My mind would scream out 'Your back, your back!' From that day on, you would never stop saying to me 'You hold this beauty in you, it holds a mighty force.' It was great to have you back daddy, I loved causing chaos with you. Then came that time again, to disappear into nothingness.

I had my theories that this time would come around. My greatest fears rising up once more. Your standing in front of me, my heart as cold as your figure. Why did it have to happen again?

I was a step further back this time.

I said to myself that I would die anyday just so you can be right by my side, everyday. I had doubt you would be gone forever, leaving all your memories behind you. Daddy, I would always love you for a thousand moons and more.

And all the time, everyday I believed that I would find your life again. The stars would bring hope to me, they would tell me that you always believed in me. That I would always love you for a thousand moons and more.

I was always a step away from you. However, I was beginning to become a step closer to you.

You're back to life again. Back by my side, forever this time. You stopped me from falling down that big, black hole of emptiness. Now I can love you for a thousand more moons and eternity.

We can have some more father and daughter times. Enjoying ourselves for this blissful moment. Every day, every month and every year, I could love you for a thousand more moons and eternity.

Just one more thing missing. I didn't know what it was. I didn't know where we could find it. It just dangled there for all of Equestria to see, but banned if from our sights. It boggled my mind whenever I woke, whenever I bathed, whenever I played, whenever I ate and whenever I dreamt.

It was like a tornado ready to destroy a village. An earthquake ready to shock the life out of every pony.

I could feel it creep up behind me, like a lion stalking it's pray. And I was that pray. The sweet, innocent and fragile creature. Easily caught, easily tamed and easily breakable. I never had the chance to truly think about it. As it would just explode like a volcano on the brink of destruction.

It sounds so taboo, I know. But, that is how I actually feel. It was never a myth, just... a legend.

Time ticked by, when finally, it hit me like a train...

Daddy, where is my mommy?
