11 Years Later

this was the letter I wrote my father 11 years ago

Dear Daddy,

It’s been 11 years since I have had a chance to see your eyes connect with mine. In that time, so much for me has changed. So much that you would be proud of but also too many mistakes you would probably scold me for. Although I think some of my missteps may have been avoided if I had you, or rather I listened to you, but as you always told me “the older I get the smarter your grandmother is.”
