I Miss My Dad
Hello,
I have a message for my dad that I'd like to have posted. First, I would
like to thank you and your father for providing people with such a
wonderful medium to express their feelings...I'm sure that you're father
is very honored and more importantly, proud of you for being strong enough
to reach out and help others with similar feelings. You're a very
self-less and considerate person for doing this and I'd greatly
appreciate it if you could post the following message:
Dear Dad-
I want you to know how much I love you and how much I miss you. Sometimes
I feel so sad because I never got to know you as a person and not just as
my dad. I never got to hear your dreams and hopes for yourself or for
me...I regret so much that I was so young and so self-absorbed. I was
only thirteen and I was more concerned with having fun than writing and
talking to you...I can never change that and it hurts me terribly. I read
your letters now and you seem so lonely and self-critical...I am very
proud that you are my father and although the situation was not ideal, I
still loved you and cared for you and I still do...perhaps even moreso
than before. I grieve for the moments we'll never share...my graduation,
my first job, my wedding, my children. I cherish the ones that we
did...fishing, playing pool, you brushing my hair, making buscuits &
gravy. I am not sure that I will ever be able to forgive myself for
letting things happen the way that they did...I understand that I had
little control over the situation, but that doesn't change the guilt and
regret that I feel. I love you more than I can ever express and I long
for the day when I am with you again...until that day comes, I'll see in
my dreams.
I love you always,
Your Babydoll
