I just wish he understood
Dear Dad,
I’m sorry you didn’t go with Mom, Josh, and I to watch our families final sports’ awards night at St.Mel. It was very exciting and we all had a great time. Honestly, I was disappointed to know that you didn’t want to come watch me receive my awards as an 8th grader, and most of all, be honored with the “Athlete of the Year” award. We both know that this whole time I have worked up to follow Josh’s footsteps and receive this award just as he did. I hope you are proud of me even though we have our differences. I know I am only 14 and you don’t always understand how I go about my life but I want you to know I will always love you. Lately we haven’t said much to each other and it is hard because I use to always be able to trust you with how I felt and knew you were one of the only ones who could truly understand how I was feeling. For example, I remember at around the beginning of the year Josh, Kyle, and Garrett were trash talking me at a family get together and you were there for me. You told me that it was okay and that they were just being immature. That was one of the first times I realized that you really understood me.
When I was younger I always loved to have you around whether it was golfing, swimming in Palm Springs, shooting hoops outside, or so many more of the things we use to do together. Looking back on all those awesome times makes me extremely sad because now life is so much different and I just wish I could go back to being that little girl who could have fun doing anything and everything and who didn’t make her parents mad at her for every single thing. Unlike my younger years I am now worried about how my life turns out and I do not want to lose you over a few discrepancies.
I am sorry for disregarding your position on my past judgments and I want you to know that I miss you and your optimism. I miss you waking me up in the morning to say goodbye while giving me a sweet kiss on the cheek. I miss the times I would run out of the house at a time most kids my age would be sleeping, crying and hoping you would turn the car around because I never got to say “I love you” or “Have a good day at work”. I miss the times we would spend jumping around in the pool in Palm Springs with me on your shoulders having a blast. I miss resting on your shoulders( when I was tired or couldn’t see over the people in front of me) as we would walk through Disneyland to celebrate my birthday with the whole family. But most of all I just miss the love that has been so absent lately.
I love you. I will always love you. So PLEASE never forget that.
Sorry,
Danielle
