Thank you.

I thought you'd actually be a father for once in your life. I guess I was wrong. I've forgiven you for all the times you've hit me, all the things you said to me when you were drunk. You know, I've always wanted you to be a part of my life. Even if it was the smallest part, you still would have been there. I thought maybe, just maybe you'd open your eyes and see that you don't have much time left. But your eyes are still closed. I've waited and waited and waited 12 years for the day that you'd call and apologize or just tell me you love me and you're sorry you weren't in my life. Maybe your phone is broken, maybe you forgot to pay the bill like you always used to. It's okay, I'll just sit back and wait for that phone call. I've already made mine, I'm just waiting on you. Daddy's little girl is still waiting for her daddy to put down the beer can and get help. All I can do is hope that you will, soon. At least before it's to late.
