<\/p>\nQuerido pai,<\/p>\n
I just wanted to say hey, and that I’m doing fine. I’m quite the young lady now. When you left us I was that teen no parent would want around their kids.<\/p>\n
And just imagine, I only had my mom to take care of me. I went out, stuck out, drank, smoked and even tended to be sexually involved with boys I’d talk to.<\/p>\n
I changed from the sweet little girl who was always wanting to help her dad skin a deer, or wash the car, even to wanting to help cut grass and run the tractor, to a mommy\u2019s and daddy’s worst nightmare.<\/p>\n
Fui \u00e0 tua procura noutros homens, porque tinha saudades do homem que me abandonou h\u00e1 tantos anos.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I know now that every time you left or tried to come back but just vanished, it was not my fault. I know now that you had issues with yourself and that is the reason why you couldn’t be a proud parent and stay around with my mom.<\/p>\n
Dad, I want you to know that the nightmare teenager I was is gone now. I’m 21 now and I have finally stopped searching for the man who would just fill in the space you left in my heart.<\/p>\n
Instead I searched for someone to fill me and make me the happiest girl alive. I am now engaged and I can’t describe how well he treats me.<\/p>\n
I never saw you do the things for my mom that he does for me. I have never seen this kind of love. You never showed my mom this kind of love so I didn’t know what to go out looking for until someone finally showed me.<\/p>\n
Finalmente algu\u00e9m me mostrou como \u00e9 que uma fam\u00edlia deve ser. Porque nunca me mostraram quando eu estava a crescer com a minha m\u00e3e.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Por isso, pai, acho que, a partir dessa crian\u00e7a problem\u00e1tica de 12, quase 13 anos, acabei por me sair muito bem. Acho que a minha m\u00e3e criou uma boa rapariga com um lado negro no seu passado.<\/p>\n
I think my mom did well for providing for herself and me. I would not have gotten anything done without her standing by my side telling me it wasn’t my fault, that you’d miss me one day.<\/p>\n
And that I was a good girl, I just needed to prove to you that you hadn\u2019t hurt me as you thought you did.<\/p>\n
Best wishes to you old man, because I could never wish any harm on the man who helped make me. I’m just thankful that you left when you did, as you made me the woman I am today!<\/p>\n
A tua filha.<\/p>\n
