Just One Look
Damn. She didn’t know passports even had an expiration date. All her life she’s been waiting to go see her even since she lost her in the big fire. The big fire was the worst moment in her life; it was 1963 when she had her first child in West Suborn Hospital, and when she first looked into her daughters eyes somebody yelled fire. People were running everywhere and my baby was quickly taking away from me as I was trying to quickly leave the building. It’s been 16 years since she seen her, but she was so happy when she got the letter. Damn three more hours until I get there she said sitting on the plane looking at her passport comparing it to the new one. O my god I can’t believe Im standing here in front of the door. Knock, Knock……..
