The tragedy had passed years ago, and my daughter Lily has grown up too.As a white, her skin, her blue eyes, just like white people.But her skin, follows his Dad's.
"Morning Mama," said She, startled me.
"Morning my princess.Wow, you are up early today,"
"Just coul not sleep.When Papa comes?"
"Soon, honey, soon......."
That's my regular answer, whenever she asks such a question for a thousand times.And keeps me wondering, how long I have to repeat the same answer?" I'm expecting someday there's a nice guy pops up and willing to be Lilys's father.
Sometimes, Alex's shadow appears at night, conforts me, till I smile to remember all the good things we had had together in New York City.
