DIMITRI
May 20th
Dear D,
I don't know if you'd be proud or disappointed in me. I don't know If I'M proud or disappointed in myself. Yesterday I visited my dad in jail. He's getting released in a few months. I never planned on it, honestly. I tried to talk myself out of it. But after losing you and regretting everything I didn't say, it made me think. I can lose my loved ones at any minute and they'd take my regrets with them.
I don't want to make the same mistake twice. So I went and saw him. It was weird. Definitely an out-of-body experience. It's been longer since I've seen him that I thought. He looks so different. We talked for about an hour. I said my goodbyes. Parted ways with him. I don't want a life with him, but I needed this closure to move on.
It's easier to breathe again.
Love, Dimitri
