You've told your sad story so well, and we hope that writing this was cathartic, just as it was when you revealed the secret to your mum.
Understandably, the secret you kept from your dad was a heavy burden, but it took courage to display strength and deliver the news the way you did.
May you be at peace always and let the fond memories of your dad lives on.
Thank you so much for sharing this touching story with this week's prompt:)
Thank you very much @theinkwell, for your assessment and opinion of my writings.
You are absolutely right, expressing emotions in letters, transformed into words in a context of phrases and sentences, is for me liberating and therapeutic.
Secrets in themselves generate weight and emotional charge to the one who acts as receiver. But when they are associated with our nearest and dearest, the weight is greater. Together, my mother and I carried the process gallantly, but I must admit that I always felt guilty about the decision.
Thank you for the good wishes, I remember him proudly as the great father he always was, they are beautiful evocations, happy, pleasant and positive moments.
Thanks to you for creating these spaces and providing these opportunities.
Since I came to this community, it has been very rewarding to write stories.
Happy weekend.
