You have a Collect call from " William" Do you accept these charges? " Yes". " Hey baby girl hows my big girl?" With so much excitement in his voice." HEY DADDY! GRANDMA IT'S DADDY ON THE PHONE!" Shouting to the top of her lungs excited to hear his voice. " Daddy how come you didn't call me last week? I waited by the phone like you told me to." " I know Slim daddy had goy in some trouble so I couldn't call you baby." Sounding so sad that he had hurt his first born feelings. " I promise when daddy gets home Ima make it up to you ok?" " You promise?" " Yes Slim I promise" " Daddy? When are you coming home?" Will knew that question was coming. She had been asking that question for 5 yrs now and he gives the same answer" Soon baby real soon." Slim knew that wasn't true but it's all she had to hold on to. "You know Mommy comin to get me next month Im suppose to be moving with her. I dont want to, because then Ima miss all your calls daddy.I also know mommy needs me too. I really can't wait till you come home." Will wanted to cry but knew he couldn't show that kind of emotion where he was at. It killed hom to know he couldn't do nothing and he couldn't be with his daughter. He had been locked up since she was 7yrs old. Their relationship had been mostly based on the telephone or through letters. A father and daughter relationship that he wished he would have done better than what he was doing. Visits were the most painful. It felt so good to his heart to see his family but hurt worse when they left." Daddy you know my Birthday coming up? What you gonna do for my birthday?" Slim knew he couldn't do much but she loved when he would send her a whole bunch of pictures he would draw and always loved to get new pictures of him." I knoooow huh? I dont yet Slim but Im sure I will think of something"  "You have 10min left on this call" Reality struck both of them. They always forgot about their situation until the operator comes on to remind them. " Hurry up and go get Momma so I can say hi before the call hangs up" " I already did daddy you should know better by now" They both laughed and Slim passed her grandmother the phone." Heeey Will hwo are you holding up? Are praying everyday like I tell you to?" " Yes Momma. Momma its not much time I just wanna say I Lo" The phone hung up. Mary dropped and shook her head and hung the phone up.Tears dropped slowly as she looked up asking God to protect her son. " Grandma you ok?........ ;)
