Hey Dad..

Hey Dad..
It's fine if you miss me,
But don't miss me much.

For I was not as strong as you thought I was.

Don't grieve because I am gone,
Don't fill your thoughts with regrets,
That is not what I had planned for you.
I wanted to let go,
I wanted to end our suffering from each other.
I'm sorry I have caused you so much pain in our lives.
I wanted to grow up and experience new things, but I didn't know how I was affecting your life..

I did not want to make you sad or anything.
I wish our father - daughter relationship was strong.. But it was not.

I know you care and would do anything to help or "save" me.
But I'm not one to talk.
Especially to you.
Not because I didn't trust you,
But because I didn't want to show weakness and I wanted to be strong for you.
Just like how you were strong for me.

Hey Dad.
Keep your head held high.

Just know that it wasn't your fault.
I just need to seek guidance from Mommy.
I've missed her since she has left us,
But just know that I will be seeing her soon and I will be happy again.
I'll let her know how you have been.
I will be watching over you to.
I will always be around, even though you won't be able to see me.

Hey Daddy.
Stay strong.
I love you.

I'm sorry your little girl wasn't able to stand on her two feet and grow up.
I knew you wanted to see me grow older.
I just needed to have peace with what little dignity and sanity I had in me.

Remember our good moments and hold onto them.
Don't grieve because I am gone,
Don't fill your thoughts with regrets,
That is not what I had planned for you.

I'm sorry Daddy.

It's fine if you miss me,
But just don't miss me much.

For I was not as strong as you thought I was.
