Chapter 16 - The Letter He Couldn't FinishOne morning, Tank found himself writing a letter.
Not to Lily.
To her mother.
He wrote about everything he had missed.
Her first steps.
Her first day of school.
Her birthdays.
The nights Lily had cried without knowing why.
He wrote about the man he had become.
And the father he was still learning to be.
When he finished, he folded the letter.
He didn't know where to send it.
So he placed it beside her photograph.
“I finally came home,” he whispered.
Lily stood in the doorway.
“You think Mom knows?”
Tank looked at her.

He smiled.
“I think she always knew I'd find you.”
