Dear Father ...

On this Christmas day, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to my father. He passed away four years ago on this day.  I have since started my healing journey to reconcile my relationship with him.  And I am happy that I am able to connect with him today from my heart, and love him as a soul.

Finally, I can look at my father with gratitude!
Finally, I can recognize all the great work he has done for my siblings and me and put down the base for us for our wonderful life!
Finally, I am able to look at his struggles and weakness with understanding and love!

Dear father,
Thank you for giving me this precious life to explore, to learn, and to love,
Thank you for working hard to provide us with everything we need,
Thank you for taking care of me when I was little and took me to all these trips,
You are my perfect father,
And I am your perfect daughter,
I love you!
Thank you!
