Tom Kaulitz | My First Love

I was a single father, and my world revolved around my little daughter named Mia. I felt very lucky to have her in my life, despite the difficulties that came with being a single parent. From the moment I held her in my arms, my goal had always been to give her the best.

Despite all the love and attention I gave her, Mia began to ask about her mom. I don't want to tell her that she abandoned us after having her. At her young age, only five years old, it was hard for her to understand.

It was December 24th and we were at the supermarket looking for what we needed. Mia was excitedly telling me what she was going to ask Santa Claus for. I thought she would ask for toys like all children, but no, something unexpected came out of her mouth:

"I'm going to ask Santa Claus for a girlfriend for you and a mommy for me. I hope he grants it."

—Come here.

I picked her up in my arms while pushing the supermarket cart.
