13 YEARS AGO WAS THE LAST TIME I SAW MY DAUGHTER – TODAY, I GOT A CHRISTMAS LETTER FROM HER
At one point, I totally lost myself. My business tanked, my wife was unhappy, and I kept letting down my child. I took a job as a waiter, but it barely covered anything. And when I got fired, I thought things couldn't get any worse. Then, that same day, Rebecca told me she was leaving me.
Instantly, I lost it all — my little Harriet, my wife, my job. I hit rock bottom. A month later, Rebecca had a rich new man. I went to Harriet's birthday with the last bit of money I had, buying a stuffed bunny. I scribbled a note: "I miss you so much. Happy Birthday. Love, Daddy."
When I got there, I saw a huge mansion. Her new dad had thrown this massive party with mascots and a jumping castle. Ashamed, I chickened out — left the bunny at the door and walked away.
For years, I struggled, thinking I didn't matter to her. She had a dad who gave her everything, unlike me. I spent forever crawling out of that hole, trying to put my life back together.
Then, 13 years later, I got a letter at Christmas.
At the bottom, it said:
"To my Father, from Harriet."💔👇
