I Love You to the Moon and Back

Dear Father,

Its been 17 years since you passed. Mom has told me a lot about you. How I wish I've met you. Mom said I look a lot like you. I have your nose and eyes but I have mom's eyes.

Mom stopped writing letters to you after I was born because she needed to take care of me a lot. That's what she told me. I hope you are fine there, wherever you are as mom said, dancing with the angels.

I honestly didn't know how to feel when mom told me that daddy was not my birth father. Daddy as in Drake. Your best friend. He married mom when I was 7 years old. At first I thought they re-married to renew their vows but when I turned thirteen, they told me the truth. To say I was mad is an understatement. I was sad, confused and numb at the same time. How is that possible? I don't know. How on earth do you think you would feel when someone kept that from you for all these years. I deserve to know! I remembered I cried for month knowing that my birth father has passed. I do love daddy cause he has been there for me ever since I was born. I really treated him as my own dad. He took care of mom and showered her love every single minute. He loves me and mom a lot and we both cannot be more thankful to have him in our life.

Anyway you must be wondering why am I suddenly writing a letter to you, yeah? Mom gave them to me last year on my birthday. She gave me the letters she wrote to you and other things like a picture of yourself and her, your hoodie and some other small gifts you gave mom when you were still here. She told me the story of how you guys met and it was hilarious. I remember looking at her while she told it. She had tears glistering in her eyes, making them not roll down her cheeks. She misses you father, she really does. She visits your grave once in a while and sits there for the whole afternoon just to talk to you. Although, she loves daddy now, she told me the love she has for you is very different. It's something so precious that not many people have. You made her the happiest when she was down. You made her smile and you taught her how to love. How she wishes to have you back. She wishes that she had the chance to say one last goodbye. But she taught herself to let go. She said she will meet you one day and in another life, you will be hers forever. I remember her telling me that "Every love story is beautiful but ours is my favorite and it will be forever."

I'm very sorry that I haven't wrote to you sooner and it must be weird missing someone you have never met but you've touched my daddy and mom's hearts. They speak very highly of you saying you're a wonderful person. We all miss you very much including Aunt Denise and we wish you were still here. But until we meet or talk for the first time, I will leave you to rest. I love you father. I love you to the moon and back.

Sincerely,

Your Little Girl
