| A Letter To My Daughter September 25, 2005 |
I was watching Television earlier this evening, about a young girl and her mother surviving on their own. I began to think about my young daughter, so I decided to sit down and write her a letter: |
| My Dearest Darling, I am not sure, if you will get this letter. I got the address from your grandparents They was a surprise sound in their voice, when I asked for it. Guess they wondered, why I waited all this time to write you. This is the last address they had, as to your where about. I don’t even know, if you will open this letter or not. But, if you do, I hope this finds you and your mother doing ok. I am so sorry for not telling you goodbye, those years ago. Your mother and I fought all the time, and I did not want our home to be like that. So, I just left. |
|
| There is not a minute of the day that goes bye, that I do not think about you. I always wondered what kind of boy, would be your Prince Charming. But, I am sure he would be a good boy. I always tried to raise you right, while I was there. I hope you have been doing well in school. Education, is the most important thing in a young person’s life. Don’t be like me, and just live from day to day. Always, do your best, and you will come out on top of the world. I did not get your mother things that she asked for, I spent my money for beer. Not even caring, if we had groceries or not. |
|
| The years have gone bye so quick, I can’t even remember how old you would be now. Not even sure, how old your mother is. I just know that I feel so old, and alone. |
| I visualize, how a beautiful young girl, you must be now I just wished I had been there, for your 13th Birthday. A Teenager. I wished I had been there for your first day of school. Heck, I wished I had been there for your Prom night too. Cinderella, you must have been. Wished I had been there to teach you some dances, but your Mom was a very good dancer. So, you did not really need my help with that. |
