acceptance dad daddysgirl death depressed diary farewell father-daughter journeytorecovery letters letterstobeyond parkinson recovery restinpeace sad short unsent

My father was someone who wished to get his story out there, he wanted to share his life and struggles through reading (and later his struggles with Parkinson's) to the world in hopes of giving someone else out there like him courage to keep fighting and keep pushing.

I write these letters to him, a father who left too soon, knowing he will never see them. In hopes of feeling connected yet accepting the loss of him.

I invite you to read to follow me through my road to recovery in hopes to show people that it's ok to miss them, it's ok to cry, it's ok to be angry, you don't need to forget them. It's ok to miss them yet want them in your lives.

This story is personal but it's here to be read to help whoever needs that extra push, to show them you are not alone in your battle.


These letters are dedicated to my dad who was suffering with Parkinsons-Plus, and passed away from a heart attack on April 18th 2019.

Ice To Meet You by mrigankac

"What else do you want me to say, Mia?" "Did you mean it?" There is a pause and I just-I feel exhausted, the kind that 12 hours of sleep hasn't been able to fix. "Hannah said I don't deserve to be loved, is that how you feel too?" She might not have said it in as many words but that's exactly what she meant. He takes my hand in his and kisses it. "Between the both of us-it's I who doesn't deserve to be loved." "Too bad you already are." "Please stop saying it!" he may not have screamed the words at me but he might as well have. "You think I am lying?" He holds my face with both his hands and looks deep in my eyes. "Mia, I will say this for the last time. I don't do love. I don't want to be loved by anyone and I will never fall in love with anyone ever. If you love me, keep that love to yourself. Please." "Why?" "This is the deal, Mia. Take it or leave it. I will give you my loyalty and my time but I will not have you telling me you love me ever again. I don't believe in love and I can't give you love. Can you live with that?" "What if I can't?"

Chances Of Truth ☑️ by zZohana3

"It's too much to remember everything and everyone, all pain and hurt is killing me day by day little by little. I wish I could remove all the pain and move on in my life. I wish I could find an eraser or Better a delete button, so that I could start from beginning, without any misery or pain." ......................................................................................... "Hey Eva, you know you can trust me, right? " He asked me again cupping my cheeks, I can't let him continue this. It had to stop now or it would be too late. I can't risk everyone's life specially his. If hurting him means, him being alive then I would do it without thinking. Again and again. "Eva are you even listening to me?" Noah asked moving his face closer. From this close I can even see the scar which he told me about, its just below the border line of his hair, it can be easily conceal but from this close its more real. His eyes, they are magical. I would love to look at them all the time and never get tired of looking at in them. No, I cannot do this to him, I can't be selfish, I have to do something this time. "No" I answer and walked away from him. .............................................................

Noah (Obsessions in Overdrive #1) by MarcelinePierson

I've always had a feeling that I would die young. Ever since I started pondering on deaths door I've had this feeling. I could care less about the hell and heaven shenanigans, but death. I want it. The end of my life. I want to be in my suit, in my coffin, in the ground and my soul to be gone. I've been waiting for 16 years, yet no sign of death opening his door no matter how many times I ring his doorbell. Yeah, I enjoy thinking about my end. Especially at moments like this... *** #1 physical #1 cuteguys #1 addiction #2 self-esteem *** Started: 7 November 2022 Finished: 18 April 2024

47 Letters to Husbands by airolgloria

Losing someone who once lit up your life is like losing a piece of yourself. In the aftermath, I searched for that lost spark, tried to rise from the depths of despair, but was haunted by shadows of doubt and negativity. How do you go on when the person you cherished most vanishes without a trace? Alice disappeared suddenly, leaving me in the dark, wondering endlessly what I could have done to drive her away. In my endless grief, with no one to confide in, I turned to writing letters-letters to husbands who never responded. Yet, through some twist of fate, these letters became a book, a chronicle of my sorrow and longing. This book is a tribute to Alice, released on her 20th birthday. It is my hope that she, wherever she may be, will accept this as a gift-a testament to the bond we once shared, and the impact she had on my life.

Letters For You by alexeboileau

This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, Emily

The Path I Crave! by PriyaCb

Dear Adi, I start by asking you to forgive me. I know it's impossible to forgive me this time. I did lie to you. I'm going away forever. I know you will tear down the dam world to find me. Please don't waste your time trying to find me. You have your entire life ahead. Treasure it. Make it so wonderfully that one day when If I dare to come back, you can tell me all about it. I love you. Don't ever have a doubt about my love for you. You are the only man I truly love. Every day I spent with you I loved you more. You are the second best thing that ever happened to me, off course the first is Rishi. The last couple of month with you, were the best. I will cherish until my last breath. Every bit of it. You have thought me how to love selflessly. You have loved me more than half your life and I want you to love me until your last breath. But I want you to find a sweet girl (she better not be better than me). And you better not love anyone as much as you loved me, move on with your life Don't let me die from your heart. Don't make me a burden in your heart. Cherish me in there. As long as I live, I want to be in your heart. I don't care if you fall in love again but I do care about staying in your heart. Don't throw me and I promise I will always love you. I know I'm hurting you terribly, believe me I feel terrible already writing this letter to you. I hope the happy memories subsides the pain in your heart. Always and Forever - Yours and only yours Chandni

Doubts 2 by SherryB915

Part 2 of "Doubts" It was that same feeling I felt deep inside me the day my grandparents left me. My stomach began to cringe. My throat was in knots. My breathing had gotten hard. My instincts were telling me something just wasn't right. I felt useless and alone... I had always knew pain my whole life but this was next level. That feeling of holding back and regret filled my veins with agony. I was lost in my thoughts. My heart felt colder and colder with every minute that passed by. Who am I ? Who am I really ? What is my purpose in this life that I lived? That I once knew ..... why did this bad luck fall upon my life? What did I do to deserve this ? I'm cursed. I have to be. I cried so much in that hospital bed that no tears seemed to want to fall anymore. I had no tears left in me to shed. When Akeem left this room, I knew it would be the last time that I would see him. My better half. My Ace. My love. My husband. My life. Gone. Forever. It wasn't confirmed but I knew it. I just knew it. Life fucked me hard. So why not throw it back.

Tenth Grade was Fun! by ThatPinnalPonnu

Sometimes you get things to happen your way and you're happy, sometimes you don't and you're hurt. What hurts even more is to experience what you had wanted for a little while only for it to be robbed away from you brutally. However, everything does happen for a certain reason doesn't it? - - - - Getting the cute boy in her music class-who now goes to the same school as her-to reciprocate her feelings and get a good score in the tenth grade board exam was definitely in Rithvika Sharma's agenda. What wasn't in it though, was getting into a ruckus of drama. Does she really woo the cute boy? Or is a change of plans in order? But romance isn't the only difficult aspect of life now, is it? - - - - I beg y'all to point out any grammar mistakes 'cause I would love an extra pair of eyes that could point out the mistakes. - - - - 31 / 01 / 2023 : Featured in Wattpad Outreach's "💎 Featured Stories - Best of Outreach Hidden Gems". 20 / 03 / 2023 : Second Place in Young Adult Romance category of Sapphire Awards.

Rightfully Yours BxB by scarlettlove

My father is the Alpha of our pack. The Midnight run pack. He is the most respected man that I have ever known. All that matters to me is me pleasing him. I want to be like him when I am Alpha. I am standing in his office nervously. I have to tell him but I am scared. He is all the family that I have since my mother died. His hair is short and black like mine. He looks up at me with his brown eyes. That is the difference between us. Our eyes. Mine are emerald green like my mothers. He looks at me curiously. " Milo son? you ok?" he asks me I nodded my head and my hands are shaking. "Dad? I have to tell you something! I don't know how to say it... I kinda figured it out today..." I spit out quickly. "Well? What is it?" He laughed at my hyperness. "I'm gay." I spat out. His smile dies on his face and his face went cold. I shiver in a little fear but brush it off. "Are you sure? You could be going through some phase or something." He asked kinda carefully. "I'm Positive. I know I might be really young but I promise that I am." I say proudly. He stands up and walks over to me. He lifts my face up and stares at me. I get more nervous. What the hell is he doing? He brings his hand down across my face. His wolf claws extended. I feel them cut down across my face. I lift my hands to my face and see blood on them. I whimper and look up at my dad. "You are no longer my son. Your rights for being the next alpha have been revoked. Anything that was rightfully yours its mine now. You are nothing to me now. You are the lowest in the pack and will have to ask for everything. Get the fuck out of my sight." He threw me into the wall. I whimpered and ran out. I was ten years old when that happened to me. My life has been hell ever since. There is nothing I can do about it. I've been beaten burned and have other things done. My wolf hates me and I don't blame him. I hate myself..

His Ultimate Favor Is Me by ICessEYEDAN

In a world where love and betrayal intertwine, my life took a devastating turn on a rainy night. I found myself alone, cast out by my cruel stepmother after the death of my father. Homeless and heartbroken, I wandered the streets, tears streaming down my face, clutching the remnants of a life I once knew. Just when hope felt like a distant memory, a mysterious car pulled up, offering me a lifeline. Inside was a reserved CEO, a man burdened by secrets, who unknowingly held the key to my past. He offered me shelter and solace, but as our paths intertwined, he remained silent about the fateful event that brought us together four years ago when I saved his life. Unaware of our shared history, I struggled to trust again, navigating the complexities of my feelings for this enigmatic man who had rescued me once more. As I began to unravel the layers of his guarded heart, I was forced to confront the shadows of my own past and the painful memories that lingered. "His Ultimate Favor Is Me" is my story, a poignant tale of love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond forged through sacrifice. Will I discover the truth of my past before it's too late? And can I find a way to heal the wounds that threaten to keep me from the love I never knew I needed? Created: 10/14/24 Published: 10/14/24
