A Daughter's Plea

Prologue

Dear Dad,

       If you happen to open this letter, I must be in heaven right now. Isang himala na siguro 'yon ang makita kang binabasa ito, Dad. Hindi mo naman kasi ako napapansin. Pero okay lang.

       I just want to thank you for bringing me into this world. And I'm sorry that Mom died because of me. Kung ako lang sana ang may hawak ng kapalaran ko, mas gugustuhin ko pang ako na lang sana ang namatay. Buo at masaya sana kayo ngayon nina Mommy, Ate at Kuya. I'm sorry for being a big disappointment in your life. Sorry dahil hindi ako kasing talino ni Ate at kasing-galing ni Kuya. I'm sorry, Dad.

       You rarely talk to me, and even smile at least. Hindi ko na nga naaalala, Dad 'yong huli mo akong niyakap. Did you happen to hug me before when I was still a child? I can't really remember. To tell you, Dad, those were the lonely years of my life. I felt rejected, abandoned and unloved.

       Please don't get mad at me, Dad. Kahit na ang dami kong mga reklamo sa'yo, I want you to know that I am so proud to have you as my father. I am your number 1 fan. You're the best surgeon of my life! Thank you for being a great provider. Salamat dahil hindi ka nagkulang sa mga pangangailangan namin. You're the best dad in the whole world!

       I love you, Daddy!

      

       Love,

       Jelyn
