When a beloved husband and father dies in the line of duty, his wife and daughter try to cope with the horrific and sudden loss. It takes a huge toll on his wife, Jade, who loved him since childhood. As for his young daughter, Callie, well, she has her own special connection with her deceased father that will give this family some hope and closure.

Note: I have been wanting to create my own original work for a while now. This work is based on a short story I wrote in seventh grade that my teacher wanted to put in a children's magazine. It dealt with the death of a firefighter father, and his little girl's gift of being able to see his ghost. But, I can't tell you any more or I'll spoil the story! I hope you enjoy it!

P.S- PLEASE write comments so I know if this story will one day be good enough to self-publish (that's the goal here, and I REALLY need feedback.) Thank you!!!!All Rights Reserved
