To her, I was just another driver pulled over on an ordinary day. But to me, she was still that little girl I used to carry to bed — the child whose laughter once filled my house, whose tiny hand once clung to mine, and whose absence had left a quiet ache that never faded. Seeing her again, grown and strong and standing in a uniform, was a moment I never expected… one that reminded me that life sometimes brings back what you thought was lost forever.
