Chapter 16- Something to Live For

It's been seven months since my relapse and since I entered into, rehab under my consent and because I had a reason to get it together. Now that I spent time here, I realized I was, so close to obtaining what I wanted.Now, as I walk out of this area, I could see everything I missed out on. The world didn't stop for me, and it kept going. That's life.

"Hey!"

I turned around and saw her. I didn't expect her to see her this soon and for her to be here on my release. She ran towards me hugging, me tightly and tearing up. I couldn't help but also share her feelings.

The two of us take our distance, and I squat down. I hug the little one below.

"I'm here for you now."

I'm ready to take my life back more than ever. I'm not willing to return to these depressive episodes when I have two people that need me.

My daughter is on the way.

"Have you decided what her name will be?"

"Her name? I haven't thought much of it, but if I had to say, one thing she represents to me is hope."

"Hope? That's a beautiful name it's fitting too what she's done for us."

"Isn't it about time I introduce you to them?"

"Your parents?"

"Yeah, it's the right time now."
