Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the real fathers who stuck around and raise their child or children. Happy Father Figures Day to the males who stepped up to be a role model. Happy Single Mother's Day to the mothers who had to be mom and dad. To all the kids who don't know their dad, dad has left them or has a broken relationship with your dad, its okka I'm 16years old, when I was 8 my parents got divorce and it sucked... 8- but if you love each other then why does he have to leave.. 9- Dad said he's going to take us out 9-he's just a little late, but he's coming 9-why didnt he come? 10- Dad said he's on his way 10- Its okka mom, I'm fine he probably had something to do 11- Dad its Shay can we still come over today? 11-Dad we went to the house but Nana said you werent there...but we stopped by please call back 12- My day was good, uh huh, okka bye Dad love you too 13- My day was good, uh huh, okka bye Dad love you too 13-Yeaa, my dad said he's moving back in state after a year 14- Dad, I cant too see you 14-Dad, I'm so happy you here 14-Dad, do you have to leave? When are you moving back? 15-Hey Dad... 15-I'm glad you came for Shelby's graduation 15-You moving back this year or next? 15-Bye Dad, ima miss you, when are coming back? 15-Sorry, I couldnt talk me and mom were moving Shelby in her dorm... 16-Thanks for sending a card 16-Mom said it was okka if I got a tattoo 16-Sorry, I was with my friends 16-I dont like talking on the phone 16-I'm not trying to ignore Dad.. 16- Dad, I love you so much and I'm not mad at you. But it bothers me how its so hard to get your help here. I know you don't have all the money in the world and you have to take care of your life down there but we need your help up here too....To be honest I don't care about the money, I'm trying to get a job so I can stop asking you for money. If it was up to me I'll never ask but sometimes we need help. Mommy has done so much for me, Shelby and Dee over the years, I apperciate everything you've done but Dad sometimes sending money isnt enough. I don't text or call you because thats what I do with my friends and not really with my parents. I want you here for me, I know you can't come back but I need more than a few texts every blue moon. I'm 16 and next year I am going to college, I want you to mend this fractured relationship we have because I look and act just like you. I am your daughter...this is between me and you, Mom doesnt know I'm saying this, this not anyones idea except mine, you can reply if you want but I dont want to hear the same thing ive been hearing for years. Don't call cause I won't answer I dont like talking on the phone. I love you 16-Happy Father's Dad, love you
