Letter to dad
I got this from my friend Irma. I wished I had done this to my dad upon asking him to sign my report card those days. In my previous post, I did mention that signing report card is like sending internal memo in the house. As dad was a very busy man, I usually left the report card on his dressing table with a very long memo explaining reasons why I got D for Maths and scored the rest. And he will reply back with a very short note : Usaha lagi! Sometimes if my letter is too pathetic, he will reply, don't worry, you are still my daughter, usaha tangga kejayaan. Bila terkenang balik, hmm.... made me smile.
Must read till the end…
A father passing by his teenage daughter's bedroom was astonished tosee the bed was nicely made and everything was neat and tidy. Then he sawan envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the pillow. It wasaddressed "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelopeand read the letter with trembling hands.......
Dear Dad,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you, but I'mleaving home. I had to elope with my new boyfriend Randy because I wanted toavoid a scene with Mom and you. I've been finding real happiness with Randyand he is so nice to me. I know when you meet him you'll like him too -even with all his piercing, tattoos, and motorcycle clothes. But it's not onlythe this happiness Dad, I'm pregnant and Randy said that he wants me tohave the kid and that we can be very happy together. Even though Randy ismuch older than me (anyway, 42 isn't so old these days, is it?), and has nomoney, really these things shouldn't stand in the way of our relationship,don't you agree?
Randy has a great CD collection; he already owns a trailer in thewoods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. It's true he has othergirlfriends as well but I know he'll be faithful to me in his ownway.
He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of mydreams too.Randy taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and he'llbe growing it for us and we'll trade it with our friends for all thecocaine we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a curefor AIDS so Randy can get better; he sure deserves it!!
Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care ofmyself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get toknow your grandchildren.
Your loving daughter,Rosie.
At the bottom of the page were the letters "PTO". Hands stilltrembling, and slight pain in the chest her father turned the sheet, and read:
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbour'shouse. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than myreport card that's in my desk center drawer. Please sign it and callwhen it is safe for me to come home. I love you!
To my father : Thank you babah for your love, kindness and all the things you thought me in life (the hard & easy way). I know I am being rebel at a very wrong age, but I'll come back to the basics soon. You always thought me that, just need a bit more time, but I'll be fine.
