The reward he gets the next day in recognition of his love for his child transforms their lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMolly, look! Your dad&#8217;s here!\u201d someone from the funeral told the 17-year-old girl who was mourning over her mother Daisy&#8217;s coffin.<\/p>\n<p>Danny, Molly&#8217;s dad, and her mom had divorced ten years ago. Since then, Molly had only heard terrible things about her father\u2014like he was a \u2018drunkard&#8217; and such.<\/p>\n<p>Though Molly didn&#8217;t have any bitterness towards Danny, she often missed their dad-daughter connection. But after her mom&#8217;s funeral, things were going to change for Molly\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey, sweetheart!\u201d Danny greeted his daughter and hugged her before placing a wreath on his ex-wife&#8217;s coffin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, is that truck yours? It&#8217;s blocking half the parking. You mind moving it?\u201d a guest asked Danny, who was a truck driver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, that&#8217;s ma truck. Gimme a second. I&#8217;ve just met ma daughter. Hope ya understand. Thank ya!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Danny was delighted to meet Molly. The only link he had with her all these years was through the child support he paid for her. Daisy never allowed him to see Molly because she feared he would become a bad influence.<\/p>\n<p>The funeral was over, and everybody left. Danny packed all of Molly&#8217;s stuff and told her they were going to his house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA parcel? Who sent it?\u201d he wondered. A card on it read: \u201cFor Dad of the Year\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBut why, dad? I can&#8217;t leave this house. Mom and I lived here. It&#8217;s filled with our memories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Molly frowned because Danny wouldn&#8217;t listen. He knew he could not leave his daughter alone, particularly considering she often used a wheelchair when she didn&#8217;t need crutches. Due to an underlying condition she had developed in her left leg when she was six, Molly limped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A disabled girl who falls behind without a prom date is in for a surprise when her dad takes her to the prom.
