Dear Dad, It's been seven long years without you, seven painful years. I get really sensitive when it comes to you. You know, before I graduated I did my final presentation on the two best things that ever happened to me. But when I started talking about you I couldnt do anything but cry... in front of the class. A "man" crying... it was embarrassing, but I didnt care. You always told me never to be embarrassed about anything, not to be shy. It's the one thing I could never do. I'm sorry. I'm taking auto mechanics right now. The first day everyone introduced themselves and everyone said how they were into mechanics because of their dads. I just sat there and stared into space while thinking when I was little how I used to watch you do mechanics on our car. I could have said the same as them, or I could have known a car by now. I could have... but didnt. I miss you Dad, you brought happiness into our lives. You would take us everywhere. Ever since you left us, I have become more and more like a hermit. There's just no point in going out, if you're not there with us. Our happy family of four. Not long ago my best friend got baptized. While I was there, they were talking about how they wished their fathers were sitting down next to them. I wanted to cry. I wish you sat next to me, you could have seen her get baptized, you would have been proud of her like we all were. She gives me hope, that maybe one day we will meet again. Just like in my dreams. If we ever meet again, I would like you to meet her, she's a wonderful person. But how long would it be, til that awaited day? I will wait and while I do that, I will keep my promise. I will continue to take care of our family. I wont anything happen to them. Even though it's hard at times, I will do my best, I will never give up. Hope you're resting well, i should get some rest too. Good Night Dad, I Love You
