Submission 102

Dad,

I'm sorry. We never discussed emotions much. I wish we'd started opening up a long time ago.

I hope you know how loved you were... are.

You were an amazing father and the most reliable and caring father anyone could wish for.

I assumed I'd lose you one day to illness. My mind can't comprehend that you chose to end your life.

I hope, going forward each day, I think less about how you died, and focus on the wonderful life I had because of you. I wish I could thank you for all the trips you took me on, all the clubs you let me join and all the times you put yourself out for me. As a child you expect parents to do those sorts of things, but as an adult I now appreciate everything.

I love you Dad. I'm sorry.
