Running for a Dream

“But we worked so __58__. What about our dream?” He reached over for my hand and said, “Don't you know that you are my dream and it has come true?”
It wasn't long before my running shoes were back on, marking a __59_ path for my journey, I learned that all of the miles, the tears, the sweat, and the pain my dad and I experienced together were not for a __60__. What I realized, though, was that to him, I was the greatest prize he had ever won.
