Dear Abi (Dad)

You have always been in my life
And never leave
Since I was born
You had raised 11 of us
I am so blessed for what you did to this family
You had work really hard so we can have food to eat,
liquid to drink,
clothes to wear
Shoes to cover our feet when going out
You’re funny, smart, nice and understandable
You give the best advice
And just tell it how it is not meaning to hurt others
You can see the truth before anyone else can
You can be mean at times
And especially when you are watching football ?
You can be so loud when your team lose or win ??
But you have a big heart inside
That can easily be broken
But no one can tell because
You are good at hiding it
Things has happened to you in the past
You had lost your son
Ummi (mom) divorced you
You had two wives
And four step children
And now whatever had happened in the past, you are still moving forward
Now you have only have one wife
Which is my stepmom

I may not listen to everything you say because sometimes I just don’t agree
But I do appreciate you and love you
Even though I don’t tell you my feelings
I know that you know that I love you
You truly care about your kids and want them to be successful in whatever they want to be

You’ve make mistakes and want us to not make the same mistakes as you did
When you found out that I can write poems you were amazed and said that you couldn’t even write like that
And told me that I am good and keep going
At that time I didn’t think my writing was any good but when you and some others had told me to keep going, had motivated me to write more

You may not be the best father but you are an amazing one.
I am so grateful to have you
I love you Abi
