A Letter To My Father

You broke my heart You shattered my dreams You've missed almost everything Now your back and I can't think I fear my thoughts that you might leave Gone again can't be found Years gone by and not a sound Now your here, I hope to stay I love you dad in every way Please promise me your here to stay And Will not loose another day

Your Dad is a good man who knows he's made some bad choices as we all have in our lives. He's an inspiration for the underdog. God Bless both of you. A daughter's love is one of life's greatest blessings. Vince

hi it is always heart-wrenching to read these kind or writes, yet it's necessary and a catharsis, my father is still alive yet you would never know it because he never was around, hopefully you and your father can mend your fences and he can be the father that you desire, great write, take care D-nyce

Hi Honey - As hard as these words are for me to read I'm glad that you are constructively expressing your feelings. As I stated in one of my books it was your love that helped me become the father I am for Michaela. I love you with all my heart honey and if I could do it over I would. Love you and great job expressing your feelings, left me in tears - God Bless hon, Dad

oh I'm sure your dad will stay in touch one has to grow and love thy self before he can love another and knowing your dad he wants to make it right now just knowing he is back should make that light shine alittle brighter and think you are still number 1 and has a little sister now you can share with children can bring together with just their smiles keep on sharing and beleiving it will happen once again
