The day of his funeral I discovered a letter that said

Natasha,

This is your mom. I am so sorry that your father died. He was a great man. I cant tell you much except that i love you and hope to see you again in the future.

-C.L.Dove

Your mom

P.S. I'll send more letters in the future

The day that my dad died he told me, "When you turn sixteen your life will change and you will have to make decisions, very hard decisions. Just remember It matters not what you are born, but what you grow to be."  My father always had an unnatural obssesion with my sixteenth birthday. I moved out of my original house and depended on my uncle to support me. I moved into a dorm, through a scholarship for my school, that my friends all stay at. That how like an on -switch in my brain my life I knew that my life would never be the same....
