Blog Challenge Day 13

A letter to someone

who has hurt you recently

I have two letters. One for each person who has hurt me recently.

______________________

Dear You:

You hurt me. And I already told you why. I know by blogging about it, in the process, I hurt you too. For my words in that blog and for the blog, itself, I'm sorry. I let my emotions carry me away. But it's hard to be sorry for my emotions. Though I have professed, time and again, that my main purpose for losing weight is about health and not about vanity, I think, as a person who has such concerns, I am entitled to feel raw about those things, however big or small they may be, however funny or well-meant they are. You should know that you're not an isolated case. I even sometimes attack my own husband if extremely sensitive me (I'm a Cancerian!) thinks he goes beyond "wanting me to lose weight for health reasons". Shhh... Hehe.

I wish you the best on your upcoming wedding. I'm sorry I may not be able to attend. You're always in my prayers.

Always a friend,

Presh

Dear You #2:

I hope that you received my last text message. You know my only wish is that you and her realize daddy's worth before it's too late. I also hope it's clear to you that even if you hurt me so bad by calling me names,  should you both decide to show up before I leave for the US and declare your commitment in helping me take care of dad, I'd still welcome you in my house and leave behind that ugly past.

It's true. I hurt you too. But I wish you see that it's only because I had and still have high hopes and expectations from the both of you. I love dad so much that to have to leave him in a month's time will surely make me cry while on the plane.

It's Father's Day on Sunday. I pray that you find it in your hearts to really forgive him. His only wish is to see us complete. His only wish is to be given a chance to be a dad to you. It's not too late. Though I have already left everything in God's capable hands, I am somehow keeping the faith alive that he'll live long enough to see his grandkids from me and to see his grandkids from you.

Please do not waste this chance.

Your sister,

Precious
