Dear Dad,
I sit here, with a letter in my hand that was never there. It’s a letter to you, but it was never sent. It’s a letter that I’ve been writing in my heart for years, a letter that holds all the words I’ve never had the courage to say out loud.
As I hold this letter, I can’t help but think about the countless moments we shared, the laughter, the tears, and the dreams we once had. You were my hero, my mentor, and my best friend. I wish I could tell you how much you meant to me, how much I miss you, and how much I love you.
Life has a way of throwing curveballs, and sometimes, it takes us by surprise. You left us suddenly, and I was left with a void that nothing could fill. I remember the day you left, the look on your face, and the words you whispered to me. “I love you,” you said, and then you were gone. It was like a piece of my heart was torn away, and I’ve been trying to mend it ever since.
This letter is my attempt to mend that piece of my heart. It’s filled with memories of our adventures, our conversations, and the lessons you taught me. You were always there for me, even when I didn’t realize it. You taught me to be strong, to believe in myself, and to never give up. I hope this letter can convey how grateful I am for all the lessons you taught me.
There are so many things I wish I could tell you. I wish I could tell you how proud I am of the man you were, and the man I hope to become. I wish I could tell you how much I miss your smile, your laugh, and your wisdom. I wish I could tell you how much you are missed by everyone who knew you.
This letter is my way of keeping you close to me, even though you’re no longer here. It’s my way of cherishing the memories we had and the lessons you taught me. I promise to live my life to the fullest, to be the best person I can be, and to make you proud.
So, here’s to you, Dad. Here’s to the letter that was never there, but will always be in my heart. I love you, and I miss you more than words can express.
With all my love,
Your Daughter
