Day 3- The meeting
He shivers and pulls his coat tighter around himself. He wasn't even supposed to be here he thinks to himself as the rain continued to fall. Three years since he had last seen her. He wonders if she has changed at all. Three years is along time not to have any communication with someone. He had pretty much given up hope that he would ever talk to her again. After all they had been through the good times the fights, He still remembered what she said the last time he saw her. She told him she couldn't do it anymore that it hurt to much and that she had to go away for awhile. That hurt him alot. I mean sure he always tried to be there but its hard when you have to work multiple jobs just to make enough money to eat. Maybe that was an excuse he used because he didn't know how to truly talk to her. He thinks to himself if I could change the past I would, but deep inside he knows the truth. The phone call came as a complete surprise, hearing her voice again he could almost see her again. He remembers the summers they spent together, how he taught her how to shoot pool. How she used to smile at him and laugh at all of his jokes. He knows why she asked to meet here in the park they used to go to all the time when they were both younger. He hears footsteps and sees her walking towards him. Her beauty takes his breath away. She looks just like her mother. The woman that was now in front of him was once his beautiful baby girl. No words are shared at first just a hug. One that warms his heart. Makes his regrets weigh even heavier on his heart. She looks up smiles at him and says "Hey dad, I missed you" . Five little words that let him know that no matter what happens it will all be okay. Five little words that make the bad in the past seem to disappear.
