Today would have been my daddys 65th birthday he died 9 years ago while waiting for a heart transplant. I want to share this with you all. I love you daddy I will always miss you.
Daddy,
When I was little you would kiss my cheek and tell me everything would be ok I believed you and it was.
You taught me to believe in myself that I could do anything and I believed you and it made me try harder for what I really wanted.
You would introduce me to everyone we met you made me feel so special! you showed me that I was valued and important.
When I did something wrong you told me. Sometimes you even spanked me. I was hurt but you showed me that you were hurt too and it made me want to be better.
You were so strong. You were like a giant to me. I followed you everywhere and you didnt mind. You would just scoop me up in your arms and let me tag along no matter where we going.
I was always so proud of you. You showed strength in times others were weak, you were a friend to people who had no one else to turn to, you were a father figure for so many of my friends who didnt have one at home.
You gave me a sense of what I what I wanted in my own life, you taught me that I should be able to take care of myself but I should also know when to ask for help.
I watched you as you got sick. It broke my heart to see you in so much pain for so long. I wanted to do something to take your pain away and be strong for you like you always were for me. I wanted to be able to tell you how much you helped me and how much I love you how I appreciated all that you did for me and all that you gave up for me to have a good life.
I know in my heart that you knew all of that. I just wish I had SAID it.
Thats a letter to my dad, but it could be to anyones dad or mom. Please take a moment today to tell people how much you love them and how much you appreciate them. It will take a minute, but it will be felt for a lifetime.
God Bless,
Binny
