We became distant since the ship sailed.

Distance should be the one that says how strong our relationship was; distance should be the one that will make us closer; distance should be the one and only reason why we will miss each other, but it goes the other way around. Distance kept us literally away from each other; distance made me hate you; distance made our relationship like it was nothing; distance made me feel like I don't have you. I'm definitely so sad that this happened when it was not supposed to.

For sure, you don't want to be away from us; you don't want to leave us, but at the same time, you don't want to see us suffering from poverty; you would hate to see us knocking at the door of other people just to ask for some food; you want the best future for us; you want to feed us with gratifying foods; you want to supply us with our daily needs; you want to spoil us; and lastly, you want to give us a better life—the life that was taken to you before—the kind of life that you are most deserving of. You're totally and extremely successful with that one, man.

"I just failed as a daughter."

When we go back to what we were before, I really hate that. I still remember when I was just a kid and it's the time of your arrival again. I kept myself away from you because I'm not comfortable. I'm always with my auntie. The same thing happened whenever we're at the mall. I feel like I'm not part of the family. I became family again when you went back abroad. When you're calling on the phone, I've never talked to you and said I miss you; I've never done that. When the biggest problem came into our family, everyone was crying except me. I got mad at you because you've never been with me or with us to celebrate my birthday. Sad but true, that was the most painful thing that has ever happened to me. And not loving you before was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life here in the world.

" Sorry"

Glad, how has "maturity" changed me? Now, it makes me feel like I'm living in a parallel universe. Proud, how has "watching sports" changed us? I am grateful for how "years" have changed our relationship. Happy, on how "technology" bonded us. Amazed, on how "Faith" made us closer.

"Finally"

I understand why you need to do that. I know I'm the most favored child among the three of us; my siblings were always saying that, but you don't have a favorite.

You've sacrificed everything for us; you're very much appreciated. I regret why I became like that before, but now I'm doing my best to erase that. We bonded a lot these past few years; it even made me forget that I'm a "Mama's girl", I'm slowly becoming one of your princesses next to my sister.

If you read this, I just wanted to say, "Thank you for everything; I love you, and happy Father's Day." You're the best! You will forever be the number one man in my life.
