Dear Daddy,
This is the very first time I'd have to send a letter for you to an address with one word, "Heaven". It still breaks my heart like nothing else can, but don't worry, I'm trying to be strong just like the way you taught me to.
You went away with the wind without me knowing and in the next minute, I was left with nothing but to accept the truth I'll never hear your husky voice again, or even feel the warmth of your big sturdy hands.
I will never forget you Daddy. :( And I miss you so much. I can give years and years of my life in exchange of a minute with you. And in that minute, I just want you to keep silent and hear me shout in the entirety of this world how much I love you. Let me see you smile once again, please Daddy. I can go on in my whole life pleading just to see you smile.
And remember what you said before? That you'll shoot the guy who'll make me cry? I want you to take it back. I don't want you to shoot yourself coz no one, no guy has ever made me cry like I do when I think of you. I know you didn't see it coming and I blame no one for that. I know God needs you there, so He had to take you away from us.
Someday, I know, I'll get to see you again. Your handsome face, your wide smile that once brightened my life. And until that day, I will patiently wait. When that day comes, I'll sing with you there like we always did here. And we'll fly high through the clouds like how high our dreams were.
Hanggang sa muli Daddy, Happy father's day.

ReplyDeleteI read this just now. Such a coincidence that I used the very same picture on my Letter for Daddy post. Cheers to use daddy's girls. I'm sure he's so proud of you and can't wait to hold you in his arms again. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI am extremely touched by your post. I can just imagine the pain. Hope you will feel better, and he must be smiling knowing that he raised you as his daughter.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I am hosting one myself with a beautiful neck piece inspired from the House of Harlow at stake. Hope you can join! - Mar
