My Forensics Piece

I was performing my forensics piece today along with Megan and Vivian at the showcase. Just to let you all know I did NOT write it. 
This is how it goes.

(Sigh of longing)
Dad's Coming home today.

The last letter that he wrote to me said

(In dad's voice)
Dear Beautiful Daughter of Mine,
I love you and I miss you. You are the best daughter in the world! And soon, I will get to hug you in my own arms- (sigh)Yes, General Rogers. Can you give me a moment. Where was I? Ah, yes. I don't know if mommy told you, but I am coming home in 29 days. And when I get home I am going to give you the biggest hug in the whole wide world. I don't know if you remember our last hug, but, this one is going to be a bazillion times bigger. Then after our hug, I want you to tell me, face-to-face, everything that I have missed over these last 7 years.
So, make a list.
For real this time,
Love you,
Daddy

(Intro)
Growing up without a parent around can be a hard adjustment for any child. However, the adjustment to a parent returning from the service can be just as difficult. Abigail has lived most of her childhood whiteout her father. Dealing with abandonment, pride, longing, love, and hope. Abigail must decide how to cope with the possible return of her father in "Dad's Coming Home" by Joele Denis.

That is the first page of my piece. I memorized the whole thing, in case you didn't know. ;)
