" Mr. Tatum?" A polite nurse asked.
"Right here" I said "I have good news and bad news, you have a healthy happy little girl, but, I sorry to tell you that your wife died in childbirth". I couldn't belive what I heard, my wife, my high school sweetheart was dead. But I had a 'healthy happy' little girl, that softened the blow a little bit. "Thank you for telling me" I replied and followed her into the hospital room. The doctor gave me a sympathetic look and handed me my daughter, she looked just like her mother. " Hi" I said to her quietly, "I'm your daddy". "What are you going to name her?" A nurse asked. "Andy" I replied.
