I made a promise that I would come home for Kelsey's birthday.

I was told I couldn't go that a lot of stuff was going on that day.

Her birthday is tomorrow I can't just tell her now after months of promising that I won't be there.

You have no choice.

I called her.

Kelsey?
Agnetha you're going to be here tomorrow for my birthday I am so excited I missed you so much.

Kelsey listen I can't come home tomorrow.
It's not my decision I fought hard but I lost.

It went silent on the phone.

Kelsey I know you're disappointed I'm disappointed too.

It's not your fault.
I gotta go I have a big day tomorrow.

She hung up.

I felt awful.
