My first-grade teacher?
 
 Dad:
 
 That’s the one.
 
 Dad:
 
 She finally got married. I went to her wedding last night.
 
 Dad:
 
 Their vows were perfect. Even the cake was in tiers.
 
 Farrow:
 
 BRB. Bleaching my eyes.
 
 Farrow:
 
 Dad jokes are the worst.
 
 Dad:
 
 We talked about you for a while.
 
 Dad:
 
 (Okay, I bragged about you, and she listened politely.)
 
 Dad:
 
 I’m so proud of you, baby girl. Can’t wait to see you kick ass at your competition this weekend.
 
 Farrow:
 
 Pick a seat in the front this time. :(
 
 Dad:
 
 Promise.
 
 Farrow:
 
 Love you.
 
 Dad:
 
 Love you more.
 
 I sighed, exiting it out of the messages, double-checking that I didn’t accidentally delete them.
 
 I’d grown paranoid when it came to losing tangible memories of Dad. Especially with all of his belongings pawned off.
 
 A single tear threatened to slip down my cheek.
 
 It was true what they said… The happiest memories eventually become the saddest.
 
 Now, I only had one birthday wisher.
