Hey Dad..


Hey Dad.. It's fine if you miss me, But don't miss me much. For I was not as strong as you thought I was. Don't grieve because I am gone, Don't fill your thoughts with regrets, That is not what I had planned for you. I wanted to let go, I wanted to end our suffering from each other. I'm sorry I have caused you so much pain in our lives. I wanted to grow up and experience new things, but I didn't know how I was affecting your life.. I did not want to make you sad or anything. I wish our father - daughter relationship was strong.. But it was not. I know you care and would do anything to help or "save" me. But I'm not one to talk. Especially to you. Not because I didn't trust you, But because I didn't want to show weakness and I wanted to be strong for you. Just like how you were strong for me. Hey Dad. Keep your head held high. Just know that it wasn't your fault. I just need to seek guidance from Mommy. I've missed her since she has left us, But just know that I will be seeing her soon and I will be happy again. I'll let her know how you have been. I will be watching over you to. I will always be around, even though you won't be able to see me. Hey Daddy. Stay strong. I love you. I'm sorry your little girl wasn't able to stand on her two feet and grow up. I knew you wanted to see me grow older. I just needed to have peace with what little dignity and sanity I had in me. Remember our good moments and hold onto them. Don't grieve because I am gone, Don't fill your thoughts with regrets, That is not what I had planned for you. I'm sorry Daddy. It's fine if you miss me, But just don't miss me much. For I was not as strong as you thought I was.
