Dear Father

I am writing this letter to you with a broken heart. You left me when I was still young. Every time when other kids celebrate father’s day I feel like I’m being tortured because I never had a chance to say “happy father’s day” in my whole life.

There are times when I need you most but unfortunately, you are not there. Your absence robbed me of my happiness. Sometimes I wish to ask my mom about what happened between the two of you, but then there’s a big part of me that says “maybe you will dig the healing wounds.”

The fact that I never had a father’s love hit me so hard. Maybe it is about time I make peace with the fact that I will never have you in my life. Wherever you are daddy, just know that I will always love you.

Yours sincerely,
