A Letter To Daddy

(Age 21)

Hi daddy,

I miss you daddy. I really do. I'm getting married in a few days, and I always thought you'd be the one that walks me down the isle. I know you'll be there.

Daddy, mum still won't come out. She's not eating and I'm scared. I don't want her to leave us. We don't know what to do.
This is going to be our last dinner as a full family, besides mum. Dylan is going to college soon, and I'm getting married soon. Riley and Hannah are going to be living here basically by themselves. They'll have to feed mum and do everything and I'm scared they won't be okay.

Daddy, I know you can't read these. But one day I'll read them to you. I hope you don't feel any pain or sadness up in heaven, because I'm feeling a lot of it right now.
I really miss you daddy.

Max passed away. He was a good dog, wasn't he? He looked out for us kids. He cuddled with me at night when I couldn't help but cry myself to sleep. I hope he's there with you. He's safe now. So are you.

I passed college, obviously, and I'm now an author. I'm currently writing a book, about a little girl who loses her father when she was young. And she writes letters to him, like I am now. I hope you're proud of me. And Dylan, Riley and Hannah too. We've done so much with our lives, but you weren't here to see it.
I love you daddy, and I really, really miss you.

Damn. I'm not writing one like that again.
I hope you liked 'A Letter To Daddy'
