Hello, papa!
It's me, your daughter whom you left a decade and six years ago.
Remember when you left me, mama, and my sister? It was because of your pride, egotistic idiocy, and jealousy. Did you honestly think about our feelings when you left us for another woman?
Let me tell you some things, pa. When you left us, everything was a struggle. Mama had to go to Manila to work her ass off. My sister and I experienced being passed on by our own families. But did you do anything just to make our lives better? NO. NEIN. NAY. NADA.
I thought you knew the feeling of what it is like to grow-up without a dad since you have experienced that kind of shit, too. Sometimes, I envy those kids flashing their precious smiles when they're with their family. Their papa, mama, brother/s or sister/s. They are together on a Sunday. But for our situation, there is a 0% chance of it that you'd think about us.
As years passed by, I was growing up. I grew up as a smart/intelligent and beautiful woman. I tried to be the strong person I wanted to become. But emotionally, I grew up as a weak, crying lady who was always been left by the guys I loved.
During those years of me having boyfriends, I needed your guidance. I needed you to protect me from those guys who kept on hurting me physically and emotionally. I NEEDED YOU because YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M A PRINCESS before they ruined me.
And now that I am 22, you suddenly cared. Which is really creepy for me coming from a father who really never cared for me.
Anyway, I am happy that you left us. I am happy because I learned from my experience. If it weren't for that, you might have killed my mama.
How I wish I grew up with a father. Things might have gone a different way.
But then again, you were never there for me.
