Her Special Day

Why can’t I write a simple name? She thought to herself.She sighed and with determination pressed the pen to the paper.Yet, her hand didn’t move and the pen made a deep dot-shaped stain on the off-white/cream colored letter she had specifically selected for the invitations. She removed the pen. Why should I invite him? Its not like he deserves one, walking out like he did. Her eyes softened as memories swarmed into her mind. She hated how he had such an imprint on her life. How much she wanted to hate him. Hot tears filled her eyes. He deserved it didn’t he? For what he did to her, to those she loved. What made him run away? Was she that terrible of a daughter? Were they that terrible of a family? The tears spilled down her cheek. How was it that a man, her father could ruin such a happy day for her. “Whats wrong?..” The soft comforting voice of her mother inquired as she walked in.She looked up to her mother and just before she started to cry. Her mother took her into her arms.”Why…Why didn’t he stay?”
