Dear Grandfather,
For all those times you've taken care of me, loved me, pampered me, indulged my every childish demand, I want to thank you. You left too soon. You left before I could show you how much I've grown up enough to realized the sacrifices you made for me. There are so many things I wish I could ask you about. You'll always be a great man in my mind.
Dear Daddy,
Happy Father's Day! Here's hoping that the Father's Day celebration with the extended family in Perth was a fun day. Somehow i bet the cousins wouldn't be able to settle for only a small celebration. The "leftovers" here are holding down the fort pretty well. So far we haven't destroyed the house or poisoned ourselves with bad cooking.... yet.....We've decided what sort of gift to get you but inevitably cannot decide on the exact model. Salary gap between your first and last kids is being an issue here since middle one has shrewdly decided to leave it to us to hash out the details with the excuse that she's in a different state. In my defense, he's had 7 years more than me to stuff his bank account. It's gonna be a good gift though. I'm sure you'll like this product no matter which model we get because it's something you used to be really keen in and it's time you got an upgrade.
Dear Uncle,
Happy Father's Day! I called Auntie today and had a long chat. She'll pass you my Father's Day greeting. It's the first time in years I'm not celebrating Father's Day with you. I miss you and Auntie much more than I'll ever verbally admit. You've both always treated me like a daughter and I'll always think of you as my second parents. I'm sorry I've been selfish; months have passed since I last dropped by to see how you and Auntie are doing, but it's not because you did anything wrong, instead it's just part of the moving on process for me. I'm glad both of you have not changed your attitudes towards me even as my relationship with you has dropped from what could have been to what it now is. From the bottom of my heart, I thank both of you for caring for me and showing me what family means.
Dear You,
There's this concept of "beautiful mistakes". It means that no matter how terrible a mistake is, it is valuable because it teaches us lessons. However, there are some lessons that should never ever be learnt. Some decisions should never have been made. Perhaps you think that fate has dealt with the issue kindly and that it should not think be thought of so negatively. I know you've got your justification for your reasons. You're entitled to your personal opinion. Know that you hold a lot of power and your decisions are honored by the ones who love you and trust you no matter how bad the decisions are. You'll always be loved. Happy Father's Day.
