Dad Always Loves You

Courage

In the charming town of Orillia, Canada, an 8-year-old boy named Jack faces a difficult challenge. Jack must find his courage when his dad has to leave for a long work trip. Will Jack discover the courage to handle his fears and uncertainties without his dad around?

Jack lived in Orillia, a small town in Canada, with his dad. Jack loved spending time with his dad, especially playing in the park and reading bedtime stories. One day, Jack's dad got a new job that required him to travel far away for several months. Jack felt worried and scared. How would he manage without his dad?

- Dad, why do you have to go? Jack asked, his voice trembling. - It's for work, buddy. I'll miss you every day, but I know you're strong and brave, said his dad, hugging him tightly. Jack didn't feel brave at all. He felt like his world was falling apart.

On the first day without his dad, Jack faced his first challenge. He had to get ready for school all by himself. Jack couldn't find his favorite golf shirt. - Where is it? he muttered, searching frantically. Without it, he felt like he couldn't start his day right.

Jack finally found his golf shirt, but he missed the bus. He had to walk to school, feeling more alone than ever. - Why did Dad have to leave? Jack thought, tears welling up in his eyes. The walk felt long and lonely. When he got to school, he was late for class.

During recess, Jack tried to play soccer with his friends, but he couldn't focus. He missed every shot. - Come on, Jack! You can do it! his friend Mike encouraged him. But Jack just shook his head. He felt like he couldn't do anything right without his dad.

At lunchtime, Jack accidentally spilled his drink all over his lunch. - Oh no! he exclaimed, feeling embarrassed. The other kids laughed, making Jack feel even worse. How could he get through this day? He felt like giving up.

After school, Jack went home and saw a letter on the kitchen table. It was from his dad! - I miss you, Dad. He sighed, opening the letter. The letter said, 'Dear Jack, I know things are tough right now, but remember, courage isn't about not being scared. It's about doing what you need to do even when you're scared.'

- Dad believes in me, Jack whispered to himself. But he still felt overwhelmed. That night, he cried himself to sleep, feeling like he just couldn't handle things alone. He even considered asking his mom if he could skip school the next day.

The next morning, Jack remembered his dad's words. - Courage is doing what you need to do even when you're scared, he repeated. He decided to try his best. He got ready for school, determined to face the day with courage.

At school, Jack tackled his challenges head-on. He found his soccer skills improving, and he even made a new friend. - You're doing great, Jack! Mike said with a grin. Jack smiled back, realizing he could be brave after all. He knew his dad would be proud.
