I miss you dad, things have been hard ever since you left us to join the afterlife. I haven’t been able to think straight much and I’m falling into a depressive state(or well I already have). I miss you so much and I hope your going great .

Hey dad, I’m 12 years old and I’ll be 13 soon. It is September 21, 2024 and Jackson is playing on an Xbox right now. I go here often to try and learn more about, I wish you were with me growing up. I do baseball, mainly 2nd base, I know you’d be proud. I also do Orchestra, I play the double bass and I’m pretty good. I beg I’m the only person who’s gone on this page in years, but I come back often. I know I’d be a better man with you by my side. Mom has tried dating, there was one guy named Mickey who she dated for years, thought he was the one but they broke up about 2 years ago. I really wish you were still here, screw cancer, screw sickness, why’d they have to choose you. I really think you would be a better dad for me than anyone ever could, even though I don’t remember you, I love you so much. I also saw the go fund me you made, all those people loved you. I hope to be like you, a good man with a passion for sports. Even though I have almost no memory of you, I love you more than anything. I hope we reunite someday. I truly love you, goodbye dad.
