Dad I had to let you know

It’s been more than a year since you and I had yet another falling out.

Since I was born all Ive ever known you to excel at is leaving me behind.

I always tried my best to be the best daughter and to make you proud.

I wanted you to love me as much as you loved the girl you adopted when I was at home with my mom waiting for you to call me for my birthday.

I waited every year.

I cried every year.

You always got me “gifts” trash that you found on the streets.

On the rare occasion I’d come see you, your new kids had all the latest gadgets and toys.

I started having children and I tried once again to have a relationship with you.

My kids took to you instantly and what a mistake that was because you left them too.

It’s been more than a year since you last acknowledged me.

I know you know I almost lost my life giving birth to my last child.

That’s what a parent does.

Anything and everything to make sure their child lives.

You never came to see me once while I was in the hospital dad.

And your granddaughter is now almost 4 months old.

Dad, you’re missing out again.

It’s been more than a year and still I’m waiting for you to love me. I don’t know why I haven’t learned my lesson.

I’ve been waiting for you for 27 years dad.

I have everything I need all the love a woman could want.

And I still wish I had my dad.

I seen a picture of you the other day.

Your hair is white and you look like a real old man.

Your time is coming to a close dad.

I’m afraid I’ll never get to know you.

That was your choice though.

I hope you had a good life.

That’s a lie, I hope it sucked and you suffered some.

But I think that’s only fair.

I’ve waited more than a year.

27 and I’m done.
