How are you? I hope you&#8217;re in a wonderful place right now. It&#8217;s weird that I called you daddy, I really don&#8217;t remember any memories when I&#8217;m with you. Did I call you daddy or papa? I don&#8217;t really know. I just assumed that I call you daddy because I call mommy, well, mommy.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really remember anything. I don&#8217;t really know what you look like at all. When I look at the pictures that my grandma saved, I was surprised. I don&#8217;t really remember any memories with you, because you left us when I was very young. You died when I was seven years old. When we went to your funeral, that&#8217;s the first time that I saw your face. I can&#8217;t remember what you look like today. <\/p>\n<p>You know, I was jealous of my cousins. They grew up with you, while me, I grew up without a father. I felt jealousy when my cousins cried at the church, while I didn&#8217;t. I was confused when my younger brother cried, while I didn&#8217;t. I heard from my aunt that you used to hang out with my younger brother. You used to bring him at the basketball court and watch people play basketball. I guess that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t really remember anything from you. Whenever I close my eyes and tried remembering you, I can only see darkness. Nothing came. Just pure darkness.<\/p>\n<p>I was thankful, though. I was thankful that you left us. You made me stronger. I became what I am right now, although I still think that what if you&#8217;re with us, will my life would be different? Will I be different? But your death has its prons and cons. It really taught me how to be strong.<\/p>\n<p>So thank you, dad. Thank you for making me strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, daddy. How are you?
