Youth
Fredrick Nielsen watched his fifteen year old daughter walk out the door to catch the bus to school for the beginning of her sophomore year. She looked more and more like her mother everyday, and he felt his heart clench at the thought of his beloved late wife. Kelsi had her mother's flare for music, and he often heard her fiddling with songs and singing softly. These days she had a smile on her face and, though it killed him, he knew it was probably a boy.
One day, he'd look back and wonder when his little girl had grown up so fast. But for now he'd wait anxiously for his daughter to introduce him to the boy who had inspired her to finally begin sharing her wonderful gift of music with the world.
