"Dad... you'll come back, won't you? In- in time for my graduation?"
Dad looked at me. "I- I promise, Mike. I will come back and see your graduation."
I knew that I should be sensible. I knew I had to be strong, brave. But I couldn't. I burst into tears and hugged my dad. Mom sobbed and hugged Dad too.
"Please don't go!" I cried. "The spaceship isn't safe! Please, dad!"
"I have to," Dad said. "I'm sorry, son, but I have to go now."
Dad separated himself from my body and looked at mom.
"I'll see you later, Sunny."
The last time I saw my dad was when he went through the front door. I wondered if I would ever see him again.
