" Dad." A smile gradually flashed on my face." I've missed you, baby, I've missed you so much. I have been such a terrible father. I couldn't even check up on my child during her toughest moments, what kind of a father does that?"I sighed, he was indeed terrible. I was waiting for his call for such a long time.
