Personal Narrative: A Letter To Daddy's Little Girl

Improved Essays
Writing this letter is going to be hard for me, but, in the end I need it. I need to get everything that I’ve bottled up or I’ve ever felt over the past three years. I’ve been struggling to find the ability to put my thoughts and feelings into words. When I think of you, I have too many things to say but hopefully by the end of this letter, you’ll hopefully understand what I want to get out. For 17 whole years, you were the center of my universe. I was “Daddy’s Little Girl,” I was your princess. Although I didn’t act like you meant the world to me during the last stage of your life, you did. You were my everything. You were the reason I woke up in the morning, everything I did was to make you proud and I hope you know that everything you did for me was enough. You were enough. I guess you can …show more content…
It’s something that is going to affect you for the rest of your life. It’s not something you can put a bandaid on and hope it doesn’t leave a scar. Losing a father leaves it scars, whether it be visible on your skin or not. Believe me, losing someone with such an important role in your life leaves its scars. It leaves you vulnerable and sensitive to even the most mundane activities. To this day, I still find myself getting upset over seeing my friends with their fathers. I find myself filling with rage and jealousy over people complaining about their dads. It’s hard to not get jealous when someone has something that you don’t, especially when it’s a father. It’s been three years, and I still question life and its importance because after you left I felt alone. But in the end, I know you’re still here. You’re still with me wherever I go. You’re still playing the role of the protective father. You’re still shielding me from the evils of the world. I know that although you’re not here physically, your love and affection is something that will never be lost. It’s with me, you’re with me no matter where I

    “Ever since I was a child, I swear that I've dreamed about you. There's one I remember better than all the others; we were at a football game, the stadium lights bright and shining behind us. I didn't know you then, but for some reason, maybe fate, you were still there. That dream left me with a feeling I can't describe, the same feeling you give me now. I hid it close to my heart, away from everything else, but I can hold it no more.…

    I either visited him or he would come home on the weekends since my mother and I were around to care for him. I wouldn’t talk about my father in public because I always felt like people pitied me if they found out. I didn’t feel like I deserved pity. Growing up with my father made me feel strong. I felt like I could make it through anything because I had already had to put up with so much.…

    Brady, The last few years have been like a zombie apocalypse to say the least. We've had many arguments where things have been said and feelings hurt. Never did we really sit down and discuss what happened or had a heartfelt apology. We just brushed it under a very large rug and moved on. Obviously that has not been working.…

    I am the oldest child. I have two younger siblings who I love unconditionally, but life as the oldest child is not the picnic most people think it is. I know this probably sounds cliché, becoming who I am because of my siblings, but it is the truth without them I would not be the person I am today. When I was four years old my mother became pregnant with my sister. My sister, Madison was born seven months before I turned five.…

Thank you for always being there for me, thank you for being my comfort and listening to me through my angry rants and sadness, thank you for the advice and the continues protection, thank you for baring with my sometimes moodiness, thank you for holding me when I cry and wiping my tears away even when I’m being oversensitive or crying over something small like me not wanting you to go to school for the day cause I’ll be bored.

    My biological father was in and out of my life since I was born, he was not there for my mother when she found out she was pregnant, or after I was born. He only showed up when he didn’t have to take responsibility for me, like when I was with my grandparents or by sometimes remembering to send me a birthday card with my misspelled name and twenty dollars once a year. He always seemed to think that by saying he would see me more often if he was given the chance to and handing me money that I wouldn’t think anything of his absence. Truth be known, I always knew he never grew up himself and would never be the man that the four children he produced would need. I was okay with this thought process for two reasons: one being a had a mother that went through an unbearable amount of heartbreak having the father of her child not be involved in the life of her child and struggling to make it by.…
