Dear dad.
I wish so badly that you were here right now, so that I can bask in your glory when I tell you how hard I have been working at school. Ever since you left mom has been so silent. All she replied was Ok when I told her. I think she is still angry at you for leaving us so soon, but in time the pain will heal, I hope.
I have to admit, that every day I keep looking out the classroom window, waiting for you to come with whatever it was I forgot over at mums, like you always did. I don't know what to do with my messy head without you rescuing me every Monday. I keep waiting, hoping that you will come, silly of me isn't it, dad?
I am sure that you are in a better place now, and I know how badly you miss us all and I can assure you that we all miss you just as badly. But I also know what you would have said right now to me and my silly tears. I can't help but laugh as I hear you joyfully yell at me and wanting me to go on with my life. Sometimes I hear you so clearly that I think you are standing just there, maybe you are, but not for my eyes to see.
Do you remember the first time we met? It was at my uncles New Year party. Do you remember what I said to you? I am not quite sure but I think it sounded a bit like this "You ain't gonna last in this family, and you ain't welcomed either so you better start packing 'cause mum is mine." What a silly girl I was, acting all up over noting. A part of growing up they say, the mood swings and crappy attitude. Well, I grew out of it right before your eyes and I bloomed into a flower and my mood wasn't longer like a roller coaster, I laughed and smiled without a worry...This is painfully to say, but I never got the chance to hug you and say just how much your patience and love meant to me. I was such a fool, silly of me to be afraid of a hug, eh.
I would have given up so much right now to get the chance to say I love you and give you the biggest "best dad" hug in the world!
Oh how I can hear you now, your saying not to cry and get the heck out of my apartment and do something useful. I will dad, I will make every day of my life count and I will live out my dreams, do you know why I will? Because you taught me something no one else managed, and that is the parents love and how endless it is. One day I may learn that love away to a child, and yes dad, I will adopt a child, even how weird you make it sound.
May your soul find rest and your body age with grace. You will forever be in my heart, and I am proud to call you my dad.
