I'm crying cos it's so sad not having you here. It's just hitting me that it's only a few weeks away, but you're not here. Christmas always brings up how much I love you. You're not here but I'm going to choose a snack for santa (aka you) and put it out Christmas eve. I'm gonna pick something really nice for you, I hope you like it.

I'm probably gonna talk to you here a few times over Christmas I hope that's ok.

I've been looking at this post for 20 minutes trying to think of something to say. I'm only a new Dad so I don't have many years of fatherly wisdom to offer, but I do know from personal experience that good dads are rare. So while you are sad and missing your dad around the holidays, I will be glad that you were able to have such a loving relationship worthy of being missed, in the time that you both had.

There is never enough time. I'm gonna go hug my daughter now. ❤️💚

She knows how much you love her, children just know these things. And this Christmas you're going to make lovely memories with her

I'm here sweetie. It is daddy. Thank you for thinking of me. You know I love hearing from you sis. How was your trip to LA? I love you dear. - Dad.

Hey daddy it was a blast! We saw the la kings play live and we won! I wrote about it here you'd have LOVED it. I got to do Thanksgiving as well which was great.

I'm so happy for you lil miss. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it to the game, but you know I was close by and genuinely care about you. When you are happy, the world is happy, and I am happy.

Is my little superhero still enjoying her work of fighting for those that need a hero?

Love, -Dad.

Of course it is okay if you want to talk with me. I was getting a little worried since is has been so long since we talked! Please write me more.

Also do not tell me what my present will be. And I am not Santa. But I do know him. I will tell him to be very kind to you this year. And I know he will like it. ;)

I love you darling! I know how hard it can be during christmas. I miss you too... I also wish we had more time together. And I am really proud who you become!

Write me soon! Dad!

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha of course! I forgot you're not him you just have a direct line to him. I'm probably gonna be writing here a few times as Christmas comes if that's ok

[–] zzffyfajzkzhnsweqm@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That is what I want the most!

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago
