Papa

Dear Papa,

It’s been almost two decades I last saw you, spoke to you, touched your hand, laughed in your presence. I miss the sound of your voice, how you would call me,I miss your words of wisdom and strong loud voice.

Not a day has passed when you don’t cross my mind.All my happy moments I have felt your presence on my graduation,wedding day and the day I became a mother.When I see men of your age or fathers of my friends I have envied it sometimes and always thought how would it be if you were still around.

I feel proud when I still hear people talk fantastic about you.You have left back many good memories for all.

Mummy has become a strong lady,she took care of every small need of ours to her best ability.She has always been an amazing mother but after you left she fitted into your shoes and took everything to her stride.I know she is lonely but she doesn’t let that affect her.I am more proud of her now than ever.She is a true fighter.

Papa please keep shining above us and give us the strength to get better by the day.

Your loving daughter…
