Daddy, 

I wish I could just sit down and talk to you about my faith. I know you’re not an atheist or worship Satan, but you know how much my faith means to me. I feel like every time I try to say something, you turn the other way. I know church isn’t anything significant to you and I know you think it’s a win when you don’t fall asleep during the sermon, but I just want you to be able to have the relationship I have with Christ. It’s not just a religion; I actually hate that word. It’s a relationship, my faith. I don’t want to regret not investing in you or being too scared of rejection to talk to you about Christ. I want to be able to spend eternity in heaven, with you and God. I just hope I can somehow reach out to you, because I care and love you. I pray that you can just have an open heart and an open mind.

Your daughter, age 21
