#I learned to forgive and forget

It was about two weeks ago I had seen my father again since I was a little girl I was now 20 years , a college student , with my own place , and working like a independent young lady. He looked the same but just a little bit older. And my brother still had his face. I was out eating with some of my friend s at Perkins restaurant; we all were having a good time. Chewing our faces. Until my friend Gabriella said omg! He looks just like your brother Maine .I turned around and there he was. That’s my dad I said try to gasp for air. He walked over to us I pinched Gabriella. Why did you have to be so loud? Hi daughter he said. I couldn’t believe my ears .I couldn’t believe he remembered me. He gave me his number and told me to call him anytime I feel like talking or just hanging out. I smiled at the number. I still remembered when he ignored me and my mom when I was a little girl. But that was years ago. It was a new year. And I wasn’t going to waste time holding anger in at him. Life is too short for that. Because I realized that him not being my life hasn’t affected me on how I carry myself. Or being successful in the future I did it without him. But just having a father around someone you can call dad puts a smile on my face.

  2. Soooo much passion that comes from this blog. Even though you have some type of bitterness with him, you explain the fact that there jis still no feeling like having a father around.
