Dear father of my child

You’ll never know the effects of your one mistake over a year ago. I sat in a court room awaiting your sentencing while 5 months pregnant, I had just found out we were having a baby boy. When you came in, the judge said to you “You’re looking at getting out once your child starts kindergarten”. My heart ached so badly, as soon as I left the court room I cried and cried all day. I couldn’t bring myself to leave my bed. You missed the birth of your first child, your child’s first bath, first smile, first word.. And you’re still missing such an amazing baby grow up. I endured my first pregnancy without you and am raising an amazing little boy on my own. I only hope someday you’ll realize your mistake was never worth it, and what you missed can never be replaced.
