A Letter To My Dad

Dad,
time has passed but it hurts me still,
part of me knows it always will.

I know you didn't mean to leave us,
you were just in a dark place.

Having a dad like you was the biggest blessing any girl could receive,
But it was also a curse as your illness made you change. 

You may not have always been the best to us,
be we all know you still loves us all.

I love you dad
and I always will.

Hi Ashley….thats pure unconditional love right there for your dad….he made mistakes but he was human and we humans are vulnerable creatures. He loved you and you loved you! A beautiful poem of love and forgiveness! Debx
