MELISSA REN: Beloved

Submissions, Touching, , ,

Her face lit up the room, diluting the sunlight spilling through the hospital windows. Her yawn sent endorphins straight to my brain. When I held her tiny hand, life suddenly had meaning. So delicate.

The first time she uttered my name, my heart melted: “Daddy.”

That feeling never got old.

MELISSA REN: Besotted

Amusing, Submissions, Touching, , ,

To let go of unrequited feelings, I took pen to paper, speaking from the heart. I love Daniel.

As I hurried towards the trash to dispose of my confession, I bumped into something.

Daniel.

He picked up my note. “What’s this?”

I reached out. “No, wait!”

He smiled. “Me too.”
