A true story
Thursday, July 19, 2007
One of the things I lose in this divorce is the children. I'm not going to be cold and force my way in to their lives, and surely their mom and dad wouldn't allow that.
But I had a dream. I knew and always knew that her father would be the one to walk my daughter down the aisle. But I always dreamt of a moment just as she reached the front of the chapel where she and I would share a smile. A moment where she'd be saying with her eyes "You may not be my father, but you'll always be a dad to me."
Maybe it never would have happened, but I dreamt that dream many times, and every time I do I get a tear in my eye because I know now that dream will never come true.
