Hey daddy,
I just wanted to remind you of a few things, which you have promised us.
I must admit you have promised us so much.
You promised us that we will be free, free from all this financial difficulty we are having.
You promised us that it wouldn't happen...That was after the first time...and now it's happening again.
You promised us that you will be spending more time with the family when your home, thats what we all thought.
In 6 months we have seen you for 14 days and that is all...and that period of time you spent on the laptop doing work. Not spending time with the people you love.
You promised my mum that the money to go to America was from the boat you sold, but really it was the money that got us in debt again.
You promised my brother, your son, that you would show him the way to manhood...Instead you packed his bag for him and told him he had the strength.
You promised my sister that you would fix the stables and the horsebox, but the wall is still broken and the shelf is still wonky.
And daddy you promised me I would always be your little girl, but every since you threatened to leave...I have been pushed away.
We all have daddy, can't you see that.
I remember the days we spent on the golf course, at the sight of dusk you would watch us roll down the hills.
I remember the days when we were in Africa, as a family, and I smelt you. Something I hadn't had the chance to do because you never here.
I remember the Sunday mornings we would go out for breakfast...croissants and jam.
I remember the long summer evenings we would spend outside...Sat under the heater, just chilling.
I remember the days when you tucked me up in bed, you kissed me goodnight.
I remember the days when you pretended to be Easter bunny for us all and sign my card.
I remember the days when we walked up those big steps, all holding hands...
I remember the days when we were one family.
Not a broken one like we are now.
Oh and daddy when your home and you drink...can you just sit and think 'Am I doing myself any good?' Because we all see that mummy's being hurt by all this...Because your actions tell her you don't love her.
So next time your home...Consider your family your first priority...
Daddy, I love you, we all do...Do you?
