Delilah: An Under Your Scars Novella

by Ariel N. Anderson

I’ve struggled a lot with whether I believe in an afterlife, in heaven, but if it’s real, I know she’s there. And the worst part about that thought is that if heaven exists, I know my father can’t exist there with her, which means that in killing himself after losing her, he probably still ended up having to live an eternity without her.

Be better than me. Do good in this world. Be selfless and passionate and never let go of the way you choose to see the best in everyone. The way you chose to see the good in me, even when I knew I didn’t have any. I love you, Caroline. Forever. Tell your mother that I’ll be waiting for her on the other side, yeah? Love, Dad.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

“You loved her first, but I love her now, and it’s the honor of my life to have her by my side.”
