The sun rises, welcoming another day…but I don’t. My eyes slowly blink open, and it’s there again. A pain in my chest that won’t leave.

It was unbearable.

I missed my dad.

Everything was wrong. I did everything wrong, and now…I couldn’t take it back.

I slowly traipse out of bed, shut the curtains over my window, and darken the room before crawling back into bed.

I shut my eyes and succumb to sleep, the only place where the pain isn’t a physical ache in my chest but just a nightmare.
