My first memories were of happiness. They date back to when I was about three, and they always included my dad.

There was a lot of laughter. He'd be spinning me around and laughing or we'd be dancing in the kitchen and laughing.

My mom had been a shadow in the background, watching with half a smile on her face. I could never tell if she was happy or not, I can't say I was bothered to find out.

It had just been dad and I. He'd help when I was hurt, he'd encourage my dreams and he would never judge.

He was all a girl needed. A real life Superman.

A Superman that disappeared when I turned sixteen.
