My father died when I was 10, of a sudden MI(heart attack)...I would say to him:
"Dad, I love you so much... I enjoyed every minute I spent with you. I know you loved me and know you do not want to leave me. I knew you would do anything for me, to make me happy. You are my only REAL parent, you know mom is useless and is mean...please, please, please have her give me away so I have a chance to live. You know she will abuse me emotionally and ruin my life. I will love you until the day I die."

The aniverasry of his death is coming up and I am a mess.
