I grabbed the ascent fluid, poured it on top of the charcoal before sparkling up the match, throwing it on top.
I ran onto my back porch, picking up the box full of jaidah's things that I kept in memory of her.

"Im telling daddy about my day at the park." she admit, rolling her eyes.
"Well I need my phone so wrap it up."
"Okay." she turned back to the camera, a little disappointed, "bye daddy, I lovey you."

I fell onto my knees, gripping at my chest as I stare at jaidah's face that was plastered on the screen. I began to cry softly but then I began to cry hard.
