A widowed husbands wife of 12 years died leaving him the responsibility of raising their 8 year old daughter alone. After the shock of his wife’s death he realized that he knew nothing about raising a daughter by himself. He sometimes wondered if the wrong parent had died. Mothers raise daughters and fathers are supposed to financially support the family; at least that’s how it was in his family. Now, he had to learn a new role, one he hadn't anticipated.
14 years later, he is left with many memories of raising his daughter: her first date, graduations, basketball games, first formal dance, first prom dress, learning how to ride a bike.
She is 23 years old now and like a lot of parents, he didn't know it would turn out OK, until it did. He still wonders how things would've been if his wife were still around and wishes she could see their daughter today.
