A Different View of Valerie. Another Snap of a Valerie-Living the Hell Outta Life by Ey Wade #amwriting #shortstory http://wade-inpublishing.com There are millions of Valeries in the world & they all live one life.
"A father and child, aching for time together."
Major wanted to spend time with his best girl. He and she were heartbroken- unable to spend time together, because of his job.
He watched tears roll down her face every morning before he turned to walk across the room. Her wails loud and clear before the snap of the door shut them out behind him. He had to be honest, there were many days he'd shed a few while climbing in the car.
But today was different, he'd walked back and forth on the beach. Cuddling Valerie’s tiny body. Holding her by her fingers, her tiny form wiggling above the rushing waves. Laughing along with her, when each cold splash covered her little toes. Hearing nothing but waves, birds, and bubbling chuckles.
Sand between his toes, sun burning his skin, laughter lifting his spirits and love deep in his heart.
He wanted to spend every minute with his best girl and she wanted nothing more than to rest her head on his shoulder and wrap her chubby arms around his neck.
