Hey Doc...

Excuse me sir, could I have your ear? Tell you about a daughter who persevered? That missed a man whose face she couldn't recognize? She of course traveled a rough path, no different than any others struggles, comparatively... But she doesn't know you... She's cried for you with no name to use, sought your embrace but had to settle for nothing but an empty excuse... So as she grew, she used you, as an underlying motivation to be great, but she couldn't avoid the issues it still would create... No she wasn't promiscuous, her mother was more than a wonderful guide, but she did inherit an insurmountable amount of pride....  Sad that she was cheated out of hugs and I'm proud of you's, silly moments all her friends bragged about.. She could only draw her mother and her on her kindergarten family pic, which was funny to those who didn't know why she did it... She would ask about you often, even when she knew the answer was the same, loving you by default.. Times missed that can never be given, don't worry though cause ill hug her for you, let her know I'm proud, that she is loved... No need to apologize, just wanted to share with you an exception, a hurt little girl who blossomed... That's a story not many can tell... A fathers absence is devastating, although conquerable it hampers growth and knowledge of worldly things... And undeservedly she still loves you.. Thanks for your time or lack thereof...
