Growing up was quite easy and luxiourous for Casie because she had both parents alive, present and doing all they could to make sure she had the best life had to offer her. Child upbringing is always easier with both parents together. It gives the children a deep sense of protection and helps keep their minds stable and hence they experience all the love they can get.

Casie was the definition of how children are to be taken care of. Since she happened to be the only child of her parents, they showered her with love, care, and so much attention that most children will beg to experience or have. Children of her age mostly envied her even at school for she was very well to do, all she needed she had and so she was great at her studies for why wouldn't she, she had every thing to make a child sound accademically for her parents too were well educated to start with so they knew the value of education and the impact it can make on an individual so they made sure their daughter had the best of it.

Funny how times flies, Casie had grown up to be a very beautiful young adult, for her parents had struggled to give her the best as it was in their power to do. So Casie had to leave home for further studies away from her parents, and this was really a hard thing to do for her. She stood still, all saddened, looking at her parents as they were to bid her farewell. She knew deep down she was going to miss them, and it was the same thing to say for her parents.

Years went by and Casie was in her second year in school. As every normal day, she had prepared herself and the things needed for her day's lesson, only to go get her phone from the table she had left it and see several missed calls from an unknown number. She was shocked to know why she had been called multiple times by this number, so she had to call back only to be welcomed by lots of voices on the other end of the phone, some crying, some exclamating. Ah! how will their daughter do? What a life? They asked.

Casie never got the meaning of all those words until a voice spoke up. Then the shock of her life came in, as the voice asked, "Are you Casie? This was the shock of her life she couldn't control it as she stood still and the tears that had gather in her eyes just *Rolled down in no time she was socked with her own tears as she cried uncontrolleably.

Her day was a total mess, her life was crumbling at her own eyes, she was stock and so shocked at that time, her brain went numb, her phone had fallen fromm her hand by this time and it was the soung of the phone Rolling from one point to another on the tiled floor of her apartment that brought her back to reality.

She had to leave school at that same time and head back home though it was a journey but she had to make it home. On reaching home she was really disorganized by now and was eager to see her dad whom they say is alive. When she laid her eyes on the man she was more broken. Months went by, due to the fact that Casie's dad was self made his hospital bills was not a broken he was gaining himself in no time. He was discharged from the hospital after an interval of 5 months, he had made arrangements for the burial of his dear loving wife.

Casie on the other hand found this new development quite hard, for she was new to the whole living with one parent. This was really hard for her to take in as it was hard for her dad too but the family had to live with their grief as they had no hands in chaging what had happened.

What a touching story...no one would never want to be in a situation of loosing the ones they love
.Cassie did go through a lot and it must have been really hard to bear...even the ending where cassie had to live with one parent got to me..it would be very hard to accept and get used to..

Nice story bro ❤️

Anyone in Casie's shoes would be sad just as she was. What a sad story we have here. It was a good one but you would have make someone to be an impediment to her ways or to have been a stopping stone for her in her school or whatever.... This would have sound just like the antagonist.

Whatever way, you have written a nice story.

Although the story has its overtones of drama and tragedy, I think it lacks a little more substance to put it in some way. As the friend of @theinkwell comments, I did not find an antagonist in the story and that may be what weakens the narrative. But overall, well written.

Losing a loved one is an experience always difficult to deal with. With time one would come over it just like I believe Casie did.

Losing a loved one is never easy. I hope Cassie and her father find the strength to keep going.

Hello @gi-de-on,
Thank you for writing this story in response to the prompt. We see that you have included it in a number of places. We are trying to figure out where the antagonist is in this story. Hardship and conflict do befall Casie, though.

Thank you for sharing this with us. We appreciate that you engage with other authors.
