Ladies of Hive Community Contest #138 "A Sad Truth"

If you had a beloved "father figure" in your life (father, grandfather, uncle, family friend, employer, etc.) and would like to recognize them with a story, we'd love to hear it!

Thank you so much @thekittygirl for this wonderful question. I have few minutes left to pass my entry and I just want to take this opportunity to thank my father in heaven and the man thats been a good father figure to me and to our kids. So if I'm about to dishqualify for this round it will be fine just please let me wrote for my dad. First of all I want to greet the lovely ladies here in @ladiesofhive. Hope we all have a blessed weekend.

My life and my secrets has a sad story, I grew without knowing the truth. I was asking my non-biological mother wheres my non-biological father? But that time I didn't know that if there were my real parents or not. As a kid you probably know how innocent you should think. My mom will just said his working to feed us honey, in my life I didn't need a father to raised me mom tried to give me everything. Private school, many toys, books, delicious food and even leisure. But that stuff didn't made me happy, because I realised that it has been years I never saw my dad not even his shadow and worst even his photos. How does he looked like, I want to imagine him, I want to feel how is it like to have a family.

In school I saw my classmates how happy they are when we are having family day, father's day activity day and so on. I was; alone and envy, my mom will not attend because she's always busy at work. I was left behind. My cousin has their dad to teach them how to swim, paddle a bike. It will even tell us funny jokes and I was just listening..
Untill the truth breaks me into pieces, I'm a adopted child so I realised why I didn't have a father or a sibling. Until now I still didn't know the truth at all, they said that I'm still a relative my father has a mistress.

Meet my grandfather,mom told me and I even heard that this man loves me so much. I was with him in his last minute of his life. He died on heart attack and I was so young that I thought he was only playing. But our unforgettable memories are here in my heart. Tatay or grandfather has an oner a small type jeep he used to ride me at the back. After he dies mom let's a fortune teller in on our house and it said a spirit is guiding three ladies. A spirit that never has left, it was man. Mom said it was tatay. When I'm sad and broken I had dream that I was crying in his lap and his holding my head, I'm happy that his love for me is still there and even in my dreams he made me cry

I'll never forget that day that I was crying cats and dogs a strong connection makes me do that. But without further words I didn't asked him if his my real father. Because I know he has many kids like me in different Girls. I even encountered one he thought how to play the guitar. I wanted to stop my tears that day, but its like it has its own life. Tatay Poppy already left us, but I had no strength to asked my non-biological mom if his my real father or where's my real mom. I just know I have to focus on my family now. My strong feeling will lead me to reality.

Im happy that my kids didn't experience the pain that I've been. They have a responsible, kind, loving, patience, understanding and loving father like what they have right now. Wherever my father and grandfather is right now, I missed and love them. I know they are happy to see me because Im happy and my kids are, the way they should be. And to man thank you so much for all your sacrifices to us, you don't know how you made us special through your hard work and courage to do everything for our family. Your sleepless and tiring job, we are so proud of you. You may not be a perfect dad but you're love for us is always perfect. Thank you so much. We love you so much

Happy Father's to all the best Dad you are all amazing and one of a kind
