I looked at the ceiling, I had a happy marriage, a man committed to one woman. But, an unfortunate accident happened where my wife's life was lost. Dying from a car crash, as the drunk driver was to intoxicated to even know where he was at. Causing me to cry at the hospital, but when my daughter Cindy came to see her mom.
She cried a lot, I had to be strong and restrain my tears. Showing her that I was here for her. Her final wishes was for me to take care of her, if anything find another person to love. It was to much for me to accept that, but as years passed raising Cindy.
Who grew into a beautiful girl, now in high school. She reminded of my wife, looking just like her, the way she wears glasses, the way she lets her hair grow long to her waist. Cindy has taken care of cooking for me, laundry and cleaning the house when she gets home from school. The smile of hers, the way she acts is similar to her.
It makes me smile, seeing my wife genes pass to her. I cried by myself when she was at school for 4 years. Until, I coped with the pain of my heart being broken. Devoted to take care of Cindy, I didn't think of no remarriage.
Working to feed us, and pay for rent. We didn't live badly, I made money thankful of me being a developer of a famous game. A dark, fantasy, story game called 'Souls immortals', while also being a photographer.
A two bedroom apartment, we lived decently, I could probably afford a better place. Put a down payment on a house and start living in one. But, I like this apartment, containing the memories of me and my wife, as well as my daughter growing up.
Getting up, I went to the kitchen, Cindy made some food for me to eat while she went to school.
I chuckled how she acted really mature for her age. I sighed, she grew into a beautiful girl at the age of fifteen. 3 more years and she leaves this home for university, it makes my heart feel heavy. But, as a responsible, caring father/parent. I'll respect her wishes, support her with whatever she needs..
"Remarriage..."
It dawned on, I wanted to not be lonely again. We humans are social creatures, in the end, we crave to have someone by our side sometimes.
I'm on vacation, so I should try dating again. I'll have to tell Cindy about it, hopefully she has a positive reaction.

"So, whats the thing you wanted to talk about dad?"
Cindy put on her slippers, she went to the table and sat down, while I sat down opposite of her.
"Sweety...I'm thinking of dating again, well remarrying again"
"W-Why....?"
"It's just you'll grow into an adult, leave home and live your life...while, I'll just be a bit lonely, so I figured giving remarrying a second chance"
It felt devastating to hear this from her father, I couldn't read her, she just stared at me listening.
"Your mother...I'll never forget about her, but you'll have a boyfriend one day, and I alone in this house...."
I told her how I felt, honestly her reaction surprised.
"Of course dad! I'll support you!"
"R-Really? Thank you Cindy...I thought you were against it"
I couldn't help sigh in relief, I imagined she would be mad at me.
"No, No, You been through to much dad, I think you deserve a woman to stand by your side again, through thick and thin, I'll help find you a date, someone that you'll like"
Seeing her enthusiastic smile, it made me happy seeing her support me this way. She already does a lot in the household.
"Since, you get busy, I think using a dating site would be a good start dad...I'll find woman who isn't evil or bad, you deserve so much dad for raising me on your own...I am a girl so, I can help you in this matter"
"Thank you cindy....it means a lot coming from you"
I smiled, I was grateful I had an mazing daughter.
"Oh your vacation is coming up right? Summer break"
"Yep! Dad, I can be free to help you during that time, since you're on your vacation for one month as well"
"Which already started"
Cindy smiled, she grasped my hands.
"It's enough time to help you find someone besides, you'll have time to meet more and more"
"Your right"
I couldn't help pat her head, she always enjoyed these gentle gestures of mines. Seeing her giggle, it relieved my heart wanting to go forward with her plan.
Leaving it to my daughter, to take care of this dating part on her side.
"Dad"
"Yes cindy?"
"While we're at the dating part, we should go somewhere daughter and father!"
I chuckled seeing her wanted to go somewhere, I obliged to her request.
"Say the word, I'll take you where you want Cindy"
Just enjoying the help and company of my daughter. Her help that means the world to me.
I don't think nothing can go wrong.
