I can remember when I was very young. I woke up one morning and my father was gone. He disappeared for six years of my life. And it cut through my heart just like a knife. No word wether he was dead or alive. I can remember when he left,my brother was just five. Mom didn't have to much to tell. All I wanted to do was scream and yell. Then one day out of the blue. Who should show up,but guess who? My father,acting like everything was okay. Never saying why he went away. Wanting to rebuild our relationship. Never asking if we wanted to make that first trip. So we built the love between us once more. Only for him to stomp it on the floor. Shattering our world right in two. How many times could he do this,what should we do? Our father has never been the nicest man. But as hard as I try,I still love him,I can. The bond between us is no more. For now he has made an unsettled score. He hurt us in the worst possible way,he left us all alone. To wonder what in the world we did wrong. For we were just young children at the time. With hurt in our hearts and tears in our eyes.

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Peaches, my heart goes out to you, this is so so sad and so heartbreaking! (sigh) Shame on your father for isolating you like that; you are such a beautiful special person and friend to us all and you deserve so much more love than that. (sigh) My heart is always with you, sweet friend, we all love you! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Peaches, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Just remember, you didn't do anything wrong. He did. Not that it helps the hurt go away, but maybe it makes it easier to move forward, away from the source of the pain. |
