My Youngest Daughter PRIVATE



That thing? Oh, that's a photo of
my youngest daughter, Nikki. Quite
a looker, isn't she? She's probably
six or so there. See the space between
her two front teeth, just like mine?
Her mother made her get braces and
tried to make me pay for them. Do
you know how much those things cost
even back then? How I miss her, she
hasn't come to see me in thirteen
years now. She was always a difficult
child. I don't know how she'll make
it in the world. I used to tell her
she was going to be an airline pilot
and her sister a nurse so when Nikki
crashed the plane her sister could
take care of all the survivors. She
always just nodded her head in
agreement when I said that, like she
knew I was right. The last I heard
she was going in for knee surgery.
I wanted to be there but I didn't
get the time to. But don't worry
babe, our son will return our
love, and care for us
forever.
