a Letter to my Father

tatay,

Though you have never been a good father to me for the past 5 years, I am still thankful because you are the reason why I am here, breathing, living my life. I still thank God because He gave us the time to bond and share my childhood with you. And now that I am turning 25 and not your baby anymore, without you taking care of me, without you making me feel loved, without you in the family, still, I know time will come that we will be okay. It might not happen now, but I still hope it will. Though I am still angry of what you have done and how much it affects my life in a negative way, I still want to say "Happy Father's Day!". You might not know I have greeted you because I can't say it in front of you, I still love you Tatay. I hope you will realize how important is your family more than anything else before it's too late.
