Dear Daddy…

Today is Father’s Day and I miss you Daddy.

Took me over three years to simply acknowledge that you are not around… They say time heals everything they were wrong coz’ today when I look back on Father’s Day the void seems more glaring than ever.

For every girl her Father is the center of her existence; her very own brand of Superhero. I have seen you overweight, I have seen you frail on the bed… but just that fact that you were there everytime I looked around made me feel safe. The world could explode and I knew nothing would go wrong coz’ you would be around. That’s why dad’s are so special.

It’s so easy to say an ‘I love you’ to mom, bro, friends…anyone. But, could never say those three simple words to you… “I am sorry”, I did not say it, but I miss you coz you were the only person I did not have to say it to – you just knew it didn’t you?

There are so many people who love me and believe in me, but I miss having that one person with that Quixotic faith that I could do nothing wrong. Today if I falter I have people who will pick me up and walk with me but I miss you coz there is no one yelling at me for being careless enough to fall. I miss you yelling at me. That’s why dads are so special.

Mom thought I should learn to cook, care and adjust she saw a woman in me. But you saw just a daughter whom you would take care of all your life.  I am actually angry with you for having broken that promise!

There are so many things to say, so many things on which I want advice, sometimes just want you around. Recently dated this guy who two timed me… I forgave, forgot and moved on. If you were around I would have never told you this… hehehe you would have shot him. But I miss having to hide this from you…

I don’t remember the first time you held me when I was a baby, but I know it must have felt like home. I know you had your flaws – you were very angry, bitter, demanding, unreasonable but even in all this I was your priority. That’s why dads are so special.

I still do stupid things so that I can get you to scream at me, to give me a sign that you are around and watching my back.

You know every man is flawed but no dad can ever be flawed. That’s why daughters are so special. Happy Father’s day. Sorry I missed wishing you on the last three. I love You Daddy

PS: You know I stopped eating chocolates as a deal off with God to keep you happie, so let me know if he cheats.

PPS: Planning on getting a tattoo. I know you will flip at the thought of it. But hope you would be ok considering it’s a love you message for you

Your Daughter
