To my daddy,

Daddy, there are so many things that I wish I would’ve had the chance to say to you. I miss you so much, and even now, I can’t believe that you’re gone. There are so many things that I want to ask you and so many things that I can’t believe you did. Sometimes, I feel so guilty because I get so mad at you.Why did you leave us?

Why did you let me see you like that? I saw everything that I had ever learned from you hanging from the ceiling of my garage. I found my father hanging. After telling me that nothing was worth giving up for, you hung yourself, leaving me, just a little girl, to find you. I love you and I never expected you to do this to us.

I’m sorry. I am sorry for yelling at you. And I am sorry for everything that has happened since you left us. We love you and we can’t wait to see you up in heaven some day.

Love always,

Ally, age 20
