Memoir Monday

It was perfect. Every day of my life with him was like being on the paradise. My house was full of joy and good vibes.  I love him. But then one day he left. Now my house was full of sadness. I asked my mom, “where is daddy?” (I was little) and she told me that he went to a trip to the moon. (Obviously she was lying.) Every second that I passed without my dad, were the most horrible seconds of my life. Now, who is going to play with me after school? Who is going to make my favorite dinner? Who is going to read me a story before sleeping?

Three years passed and he returned. But now everything changed. Our relationship isn`t like I remembered. We both changed. Nothing is the same as it was before.
Now every time we start talking, our conversation ends with a discussion. I don`t know what happened. But for sure he is not the daddy I remember.

Besides our discussion or whatever we don`t have in common, I need him to know, that I love him very very much and (now I don`t really care about our relationship) he is my dad and that would never change  and every opportunity I have I say to him: “I love you daddy”.

I wish he could read it, but he does not know English so he won`t be able to read it. But if he read It or not, he knows that he is one the most important persons in my life and he has a very big part in my heart. 

PD: he went to Spain for three (LONG) years !!

  2. Thanks so much for sharing something so personal.
    But even if you think that your relationship can't be repaired, it can. I am not Dr. Phil, but perhaps if you translated this and let him know how you feel he would reach out and try to talk instead of having a "discussion."

  7. Nice job Sofia! Your post was really deep! I really felt like I could understand how you felt, even though I probably can't. I really liked how you said that you can't fix the relationship, but if you showed him this then I'm sure it would get better. Great job.
