Dad Bonds

After returning from the park, where she had been playing with her granddaughter, Shelby innocently turned on her computer and opened her HeadLibra social media page, like she usually did. The first post she saw was by her Aunt Cacey “My brother died at breakfast today. I need a ticket to Montana.” Cacey only had one brother, Shelby’s step father, Charles. Shelby screamed at the words, and grabbed for her teddy bear. The old bear had lost an eye, but it was precious to Shelby. It was one of the first gifts Charles had given her. Shelby could not think of a worse way to find out about the death of a man who had loved her, and taught her to love.
