Daddy's Little Girl

Sometimes I wonder why I got stuck with a father like you. You care about me. I know you do, but you're terrible at showing it. You've done nothing to prove that you love me. At my friends' Sweet 16, their fathers danced with them and it was so hard to handle. They had such wonderful relationships with their fathers. I kept wondering why I don't have that type of relationship with mine. I keep feeling like I got abandoned. I keep feeling like you don't care enough. You don't realize that everything you've done and said just hurts me more. You simply don't account for how I feel at all.

Yesterday, on the way to my meet, my friend showed me this note her father had written her and put in her lunch bag. Her father is so encouraging and loves her so much. I almost cried right then and there. It's hard.
