A Thousand Words

Letter 1

Dear Dad,
Hi Dad. It's Zoey. I'm now sixteen and mom still won't talk about you. I've waited ten years for you to come home. But you never did. I want to know about you, and I want you to know about me. Even though I don't remember you that well, I still love you. I would give my last thousand words to you. So, I will be writing these letters all my life even if you don't write back. I've needed you, and I still do. Mom won't say anything to me about you. I love you. It would mean everything in the world to me if you could come home. Please.
Love your daughter,
Zoey Gavril
