Major Crimes

Welcome to Fatherhood

Julio becomes a father

The letters kept coming like clockwork every single month. The sadness and rage still lingered like a bad cold from the winter months. It has been at least eight months since the incident which is how, I prefer to be reminded of that time. An indiscretion in my personal and professional life.

A warm soft hand bought me back from my day dream or nightmare depending on my mood on any given day.

"Julio are you OK?" asked the Captain.

It took me about a minute to answer the Captain with a small smile on my face. It seemed to make her worry more since I rarely smile at all.

"Yes Captain, I am," I answered. She gave me one final look before turning to go to her office.
