AAABDAD

"I looked at my phone and opened it to my dad's message. I had not yet responded. My heart was broken. There was so much I wanted to tell him. I wanted him to know that I wasn't angry that he left and I wanted to say that I needed him. I needed him to know that no matter what, I'd still be his daughter, a daughter who loved and appreciated him even if he didn't live with me." - Delanie Higbee
