He died when she was 12. He was all she ever looked up to because she thought he was strong. He was the perfect father figure - strict enough to tell her she's not allowed to wear off-shoulders but sweet enough to call her at night to sit on his lap and tell her she's his princess and how much he loves her.

But apparently he's not strong enough. It was just on the surface. He was strong for her. But he never was for himself.

She never showed it to him how much she looked up to him. She might've even driven him away not because she was ashamed of him but because she was scared to admit she's a daddy's girl.

But that was 18 years ago. That was more than half her life. But she held on to him, unconsciously.
