Moving thoughts about what having an alcoholic father does to a child…
I will never know how it is to have a daddy kiss me goodnight.
Thanks alcohol.
I will never know how it is to hear my daddy sing me to sleep, or read me a bedtime story.
Thanks alcohol.
I will never know how it is to have my daddy come to my award ceremony and cheer for me as my name is being announced in elementary school.
Thanks alcohol.
I will never know how it is to have a daddy hold me while I bawled my eyes out after my first heartbreak with a boy.
Thanks alcohol.
I will never know how it is to have a daddy who truly loves, helps, and supports my mom.
Thanks alcohol.
I HATE you.
-A
