I miss you, dad. Its been 5 1/2 years. The holidays suck the most. I'm getting married. I wish you were here. I know you are in your own way. It's so hard. I feel so alone. Every time I'm down, I think of the time you came home from work just to check on me when I had just broken up with J_____. You hugged me and let me cry and told me it would be ok. I didn't get much more time with you after that. I should have been there when it happened. I'm sorry I wasn't. "I couldn't handle it" isn't a good enough excuse. I'm sorry. You mean the world to me. My one true protector and my hero. I miss you.

I feel this way about my own father... We haven't spoken to one and another for almost three years because of his continued problems with alcohol then I found out through my mother that he moved to Mexico. He abandoned me when I was 15... he hurt me in ways no father should ever hurt his child... And I still miss him and love him and ache to have what we used to have. You're right.. the holidays do suck the worst... but I hope it gets better for you. Find solace and strength in your husband-to-be. Find joy in your continuing life and in the love that you've found. I'm sure your dad would have wanted it that way.
