Some nights alone, he thinks of her.

"The award for the most successful women in the world goes to Naomi Madden." The women on stage says says.
My eyes look around the room for anyone whose about to stand—
I see a women, in this black silk, mid thigh length dress and a younger girl stand up after her.
The women looks down at the little girl, as the little girl says somethings to her. The women nods and I watch as her body turns and I get a glance of her face, as she pushes the chair into the table.
And right then I knew it was her. I know it's her.
My eyes then fall to the little girl asking Naomi a question. They both then make they're way to the stage.
I can't really tell who the little girl is, but as soon as she's on stage next to Naomi, I see it. It's her. It's my daughter. My little girl. My baby girl.
She is beautiful. She is everything I wanted my daughter to look like maybe even more.
Just like her mother.
I honestly don't know how to feel. I mean do I feel happy to see them? Yes.
But I honestly don't know how I feel. There's just too much emotions going in through my body.
The only feeling I feel the most, are the stares my families giving, but I avoid their eye contact and focused on them.
Naomi herself looks beautiful as she always has, buts she's just gotten more curves, that fit her so well.
I do somewhat feel a bit...happier? Or relived that they are okay. They look happy.
I see our daughter smile. I don't know her name. Which I hate that I don't, but it was my fucking fault I left.
So I couldn't see her grow up and turn into that little girl she is. I wasn't there for any of it. I wasn't there at all. I wasn't there to be her father.
Naomi stands informant of the mike, with a smile on her face.
"Wow. I am completely not prepared for this at all. Um, I don't know where to start... I'll start off by saying thank you. Really. I am beyond grateful for this award, and for being here, where I am. But I really wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my parents, who ummm, passed when I was sixteen." She starts.
Damn it it's braking me so much just seeing her like this or go through such a horrible thing.
I even topped it off by leaving them.
Amazing. (Not the sarcasm)
Amara warps her arms around her legs hugging Naomi and Naomi looks down at her with a sad smile and bends done,places a kiss onto this little girls forehead.
