The Last Letter

You took it all from me

Dear John,

I'm sorry about what has happened, this letter is meant for you and you only to read it, never let anyone else ever read it, especially your daughter.

Alright, as you remember we met on our first college year since we had the same course, we dated for five years and have been married for six years now, and we've had a daughter that is now eight years old.

Now, we both were studying Physics at college, we both were on a scholarship, our relationship was amazing until we found out that I got pregnant on our last year, the first thing that I remember saying to you back then was to set up a date to abort the kid, but you were such a loving and caring husband, I thought back then that you did the best thing, but it was the worst, you offered to help me raise the kid and you promised me to never abonden her, so I kept it and missed my final exams which ended my scholarship and forced me to drop out.

Now, look at you, a Professor at the college we attended, PhD at Quantum Physics, with many researches published, two books and some prizes, life is great isn't it? And I'm sure that in the future you will at least be nominated to a Nobel Prize.

Now, you see when you sacrifice your dream for the sake of something, the last thing that you would want to see is someone else living your dream, and that's what I've been enduring in the past eight years, seeing you getting your Masters degree was very difficult, seeing you getting your PhD was worst, I didn't cry that day of happiness for you, I cried for how pity I am.

You see how whenever you read an article about something related to you and I started reading something that is negative, and you always say "Why can't you just be happy for me?" Well, I can't be happy for someone that took my dreams and is enduring them, can you be happy of someone took your legs and started playing football with them? Will you be happy if someone go a prize for a research that you made? Of course you won't, then stop expecting from me at any cost to be happy for you, deep down you know that I can't be happy for you, that's why in the recent year you haven't been sharing with me all of the news enthusiastically.

Now, I'm not saying that you are a bad guy or a bad father, you are a good father, but you've sacrificed me for the sake of Emily, so you will have her and not me, I do love her too, trust me, I'm a mother, but it aches me to know that I can't be what I have always dreamed of becoming.

So John, good day, don't feel sad, I will leave another note saying that I'm sad and unhappy without diving into any details, don't show this letter to anyone, especially not to Emily.

Bye sweetie!
