Dear Daddy,
I miss you. I miss
what I never had. Someone asked me, how could I miss someone I have never even
met. The truth is, I can’t really explain how. All I can explain is I do. I
can explain the sadness I feel when I think about how much I wish you were
here, but you’re not. When I look at my brother and hear him tell me all the
stories of life with you, I miss you. When I’m laughing with my brother over
something silly, I wish you were there to be a part it. If for only but a moment.
If for only one hug. If for only one spoken word from your voice that I could
hear. I miss that. I miss all that which I have never had.
Fifty percent of your
DNA runs through me, so there is something naturally within me that desires
that in which I came from. The longing my heart has now for a daddy has always
been there. I've been one lucky girl to have the longing filled by The
Father Himself. He has taken the greatest care of me, Daddy. I don’t know the
why’s of your absence from my life, but My Father in heaven took excellent care
of me in your absence. He has been my all. He continues to be. Regardless of
what the naysayers continue to say about my Father, Jesus is not my religion.
No. He is my Father. He is my Daddy. Just as sure as I know I am a Price, I
know I am a Christian. I know who both my Daddy’s are. Nothing anyone can say
about either of you two will ever change that. Just as long as I have life, you
will be my Daddy. From now and into eternity, Jesus will always be my Father.
But…......Daddy, I still miss you.
I trust the Lord and his plans in
all things, but this girl just wants her daddy. Tonight I wish you were here
because I want you to hold me and tell me life will be okay. See, nothing in
life is wrong, but everything in life can only be made better when a girl has
the arms of her Daddy holding her. From what I’m told you really weren't all
that touchy feely, which is okay. I’d just lay right next to you. That would be just fine with me. Just being near you would be enough. But Daddy, since you’re not
here thank you for giving me such a great big brother. You would be so proud of
him. He is an excellent father! I am the proudest sister ever! I never knew
anyone could be as great a parent as I am, but I was wrong J He takes good care of
me as well, which makes him an excellent brother, too. In your absence he is doing well by you. He’s even passing on some
of that great wisdom you left him. We have some of the greatest talks and he passes down to me things you passed down to him. I cherish those talks and
moments with him. Thank you for giving that to him, so I could receive it. Your son is a great man. A very good man.
And today, both your son and
daughter love and miss you Daddy.
