do you ever just wonder if your dad would be proud of you? i mean i wonder that all the time. i wonder if he'd be proud of me for graduating high school and making the decision to go to college right afterwards. it's been almost 3 years and it feels like he's missed everything.

I do wonder this, I wonder what he’d say about the choices I’m making, have made, and will continue to make. I wonder what he’d say about who I am. There are a lot of things I would have wanted my dad to know, but I do know that the only picture he had in his wallet when he died was one of me and my sisters. That’s enough for me to know that he wanted my happiness, he wanted me to know love, and the world, and all the things will make my eyes wide, and make me laugh until it hurts.

I don’t know him, or you, and I certainly wouldn’t want to make assumptions but if he loved you like I am sure he did all the steps that you take everyday to ensure personal fulfillment and happiness are steps that he must be proud of. He’s not missing everything, because you’re not… if that makes sense.
