My Dear Daughter
Assalamualaikum. I do not know whether you now remember me or not, but I am your father. The man you learnt to call daddy.
You might never see this letter, but some one very nice suggested I write to you any way. So I hold back tears and try it today.
It is hard to live, with the memories of your time with me, but harder still to remember them and be brave.
What do I do when I miss you every day?
When I hear the splatter of little feet or see the smile of a little girl, the twinkle in her eyes reminds me only of you.
What do I do my darling when I think of you every day?
When I stand before my Lord, I know I should pray for paradise, but I can only think of you. Would there be a paradise for me without you to play with me?
I miss you when I am alone, I miss you when I am with people, I miss you when I am at home and I miss you when I am out. I miss you so much so that it’s hard not to cry. Even when I sleep I dream only of you.
I should be happy when I see my nieces and nephews play, but it saddens me because you I can not see.
There is nothing that could take this pain away; I live with it, I know it’s real.
It rips my heart however, to not know how you do. How you sleep, how you play or even how you speak.
It frightens me to think that I might not know your smile or your voice.
To me you’ll always be the little girl who wrapped her tiny arms around me, when I got back home from work. Or the baby whose first cry I was so glad to hear. I promise you my love, that sound I never will forget.
I also wish I could tell you all about the Lord, the God who made us all. Blessed indeed I am that He put your love in my heart. He loves you more than I could ever do. It is this thought alone that comforts me when I miss you all alone.
Lots of love
your Daddy
