Looking Forward

Every year, Bailey looked forward to her birthday as this day bridged the gap between the living and the dead; Bailey and her father. Anxiously waiting for the notes written by her dad, reading those words as they echoed in her ears in Michael’s voice was the perfect birthday gift. She had started to hate her birthdays when her dad passed away, but now she would be looking forward to them each year.
