Ivy is rubbing against my ankles, so I bend down and pick her up. I bring her up to my chest and cuddle her. Ledger might have just offered me a job to get me out of town, but I sit down on my couch with a smile, because I got to see my daughter’s face today. No matter how depressing the rest of the day was, I finally got a piece of something I’ve been praying five years for.
