She was the daughter I wasn't able to have. The missing piece to our family. The one that made us whole. I listened to her cry about all she'd been through and all the mean things her parents had done to her. I wiped away her tears and showed her how much she was loved. I told her she was mine and that she would have a parent in me forever. But what if all she said was a lie? Pieces didn't line up and truths came out. She might have fooled me once, but once was all it took.
