Life, Time, Happiness

Angry baby girl who wasn't good enough for her dad to love...or be there (was read by me at his funeral)
Cheated life, time, happiness. Cheated me out of a complete life, total happiness, time with my father. My dad. The man that should have been there everyday of my life. My 17 birthdays, all my pain, all my happiness. All you never knew. All you will never know. Because your life got the best of you. Because your time got the best of you. Because your happiness got the best of you. I'm just sorry I couldn't have been a part of it all. All that made you. All that you loved and cared for. All that wasn't me. Maybe in another life things will go as planned. Things will work out and I'll have your acknowledgement. But until then I will have to learn to forgive. Forgive for being out of my life. Forgive for the time taken away. Forgive for not being a part of my happiness. For not letting me be part of yours....
