2039-Dan:
there was a silver car outside, and seconds later there was a knock at the door.
I watched as you took a deep breath and fixed your hair before opening the door to a 14 year old lila.
"hi daddy."
"hi baby girl."
and you hugged. you hugged for a long time. I could see all of the years of regret not seeing her wash away through that hug. and it was a beautiful hug.
I filmed every second of it and felt nothing but happiness.
"dad, why is there a robot in your living room?"
"oh that's dan. dan say hi!"
"hello lila!"
she giggled and smiled.
"where did you get it?"
"I made him. I made him about thirty-two years ago out of computer chips, superglue, and a shit ton of wire."
"wow."
she walked over to me and couldn't keep her hands from exploring every side and button that she could find.
"he's so cool!"
I watched your eyes light up as she called me "him", something bella could never figure out.
"thank you. I think he's my little best friend."
and that made me happy. yeah that made me happy for a long time.
