A Letter to Dad
Hey Dad. Longtime no talk? I used to talk to you before bed, but then I got older, and busy. I still ask Lord to hear your voice one more time. It’s going to be a rough couple months coming up. I messed up because I got lonely. See Dad, this is what you’re supposed to be here for. To listen. Mom’s busy with work. You would’ve listened, and you would have held me, whether I was crying or not. I miss seeing you Dad. I miss holding your hand. I miss our big, big family. I remember years ago, you told me to be careful with people. I didn’t listen. Why did you go? Why did I grow up? I don’t want to grow up Dad. If I grow up, you won’t be there to walk me down that long, long aisle. You won’t be there to be with your own baby to see her first baby. Daddy, please come back. I wish heaven wasn’t so far away.
