Looking for him

And there she was, looking for him again, lost in the woods. She was tired, but her desire to find him was bigger than her tiredness. She had been looking for him since she was five, when he disappeared. He had been working as a police officer for 15 years when he married her mom, they were so happy and always had planned to have a baby girl and to name her Faith, and so they did. He was sent to the rescue of a father and a son that were simply having a walk into the woods, when they heard a strange noise, looked around and realized that they were surrounded by wolves. He saved them, but never went back home. 

After years and years of looking for him, they assumed he was dead and Faith’s mom decided to give up and accept the fact that she may be a widow and would have to raise her child herself. Faith was a curious, funny, quiet, mature and really smart girl who always did questions like “why does my friend have a father and I don’t?” “where is my dad, mommy?” which made her mom’s widow life a little harder, because she was so little that her mom could not find a way to explain what really happened, to her. 

When Faith turned 15 years her mom decided to tell her what really happened with her dad. Her reaction was way more quiet than what her mother thought it would be, but later on she developed a deep and intense curiosity to truly know if her father was dead or not. She went every day of the week to the woods for 2 years. She was decided that she would find him. Her mom was not really okay with this, because she feared that it would happen the same thing to Faith. Faith would stay there all noon and night screaming “dad, are you here? I know you are!” but always went back home with no clues about her dad.

The woods were really lonely, but one day, she saw a man. He was blind, toothless, looking like if he did not know what a shower was. Faith was scared, but nevertheless she persisted. She approached the man and asked him what his name was and what had happened to him, she felt a strange connection with this man. The man cried and told her that he only wanted to go back home. He kept screaming “I want to go home!!!” Faith felt really sorry for him and decided to take him home, because after all, what damage can that poor man do to her?
They went home, and the moment her mom opened the door, she fainted. Faith did not know how to drive, but she learned that day. She, her mom and the man were on their way to the hospital. When she told the doctor what had happened to her mom, he immediately took care of the case. The man was still crying. Something told Faith that he was not well, even though he said he was fine. She asked the doctor if they could check him and see what was wrong with him. Suddenly, he was hospitalized. 

And there she was, waiting for her mom to wake up and staying with a stranger, to see if he was okay. Faith’s mom woke up the day after screaming “it’s him, she found him! My husband is here!” Faith thought she was delirious and tried to calm her, but her mom persisted. 

After a few hours, when she was completely calmed, she talked to Faith and told her that the man she took home was her dad. Faith could not believe it! Her research was not in vain! She had found her dad! When the doctor finished checking him what had happened to him, and effectively, he was Faith’s father.
