I felt abandoned,
perhaps you did as well.
We made choices
and let things slide
for just long enough
for it to become too late.

Dear Father,
I may have not been blood,
but my soul was your child,
and I looked to you as any
Daddy's girl would.
You showed me what it was to love
unconditionally
and from afar
and I wish that I had learned that lesson
when I still had time to thank you for it.

I do hope you knew how much I loved you,
and that my heart has been broken
over this last year
wanting your smile and your love
but feeling unwanted and pushed away.
I regret not stepping up
and coming home,
I am forever sorry that your last words to me
were
'next time, dont stay away so long'.

I love you.
Please know that.

As always,
v.
