It's been a couple of months since my dad last wrote my sisters and me. He's currently in jail. He's been in jail since May 21.
He doesn't seem to want to hear how we're doing. I think it's been hard for all of us not having him around. But I know it's been the hardest on me because I seem to find myself missing him more and more each day.
I often find myself thinking about him during class and when I'm on the bus. Sometimes I think about him when I'm in my room writing poems with my sisters. I hope that he writes us soon because I'm afraid if he doesn't, I might start to give up on him for good this time.
He used to always be there for us, but now he's always gone. He doesn't even know that I wrote him a poem when he first went to jail. This is the second time that he's been in jail. This time he's in for a year. Last time he was in jail for a couple of days. But I'm not going to wait for much longer, I have other things to do with my spare time.
Since he was in jail, he had to miss out on some important things like: my 16th birthday, my sister's 15th birthday and my sister's eighth grade graduation. But maybe when he gets out, he will make better decisions with his life. I just hope he makes them fast before he loses the one thing that matters to him--his family.

Wow! Sound tough. He will write your; his family and his girls. Keep Your Faith strong!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehmmm i remember when my dad was in jail lolz it was pretty hilarious cuz he would call and it would say you have a call from darango jail if you accept press one... it would make me laugh so hard (: But i understand completely when i wasnt with my dad who btw is my BFF, i felt almost lost. But you just have to remember that he will come out and you will see his face again. and with that in your mind push forward through out your daily life. Trust me it makes everything better (: (: And also dont spend all your time waiting, i have heard stories and it seems there are some good explanations as to why i too wouldnt hear from my dad for a couple of days, its a rough and tumble place... Dont worry amber you will for sure make it through (:

Sorry that you have to wait so long. It's always nice having your dad around. If he knows what's important in his life he'll write to you and your family. Just keep going on with your life and things will just take their course, and hopefully soon he'll write back to you.

Keep your head up babygurl. It's going to be just fine!
ReplyDeleteAmber, it sounds like you have touched a tender spot in the hearts of others. Perhaps if you share your story with others, you'll find comfort in knowing you have company during this very tough time.
