A SNEAK PEEK
"My heart split in two, I wanted to run to him, and snuggle myself into his open arms, but I allowed arrogant pride to separate the chance of a father and daughter reconciliation. A heavy downfall of emotions streaked down my face as I walked away, trying to read his sloppy writing, through my blurred vision. I have to go home and give him a chance. I turned the corner, and I was out of his sight. I stopped and turned around with a tiny bit of hope that he had followed me, but he didn't. He let me go. Dad was done chasing me. I would now spend the next several years chasing his ghost for a second chance."
