My dad died when I was 12, he was 37. He was a violent alcoholic. He only hit me once. He put my little feet on his feet once and we danced. All I felt was relief when he died. Thought everything would change, nothing did.

Last year and this year I find myself feeling sad, feeling loss around Father's Day. I think of all I never knew, all I missed. Don't know why it's just starting to hurt now.

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
