Is this sentence gramatically correct?
Hi I'm writing my college essay for the common app and I was wondering if this sentence is correct. I feel like it may be a run on or have some grammatical errors but I don't know how to fix it. Thank you for the help.
StartFragment>I still have nightmares about having to jump on my dad to protect my mom when I was ten and listening to my dad’s heart wrenching cries over the phone when he realized he was not coming home, repeating the same five words, “Don’t you want your daddy?”EndFragment>
