If you don't see her

This post is dedicated to certain friends and family.

My friend,

I know you know I have a daughter. And I know you know that she has passed away. As someone who is or was close to my heart I thought you would express your condolences, care and concerns. But you have barely even said a word about her... Not even a "sorry for your loss". So I tell you what. If you don't see my daughter, then you have no place in my world. If you don't acknowledge her presence then I don't see how I can ever acknowledge yours. 

My daughter is around. She is in the air that I breathe, she kisses my cheeks through the wind, she talks to me through the silent whispers that only I can hear, and most importantly she is always on my heart. Just because she died, it doesn't mean she is gone. Yes, we may not see her physical being but she is around. I know that and others that matter know that too. And obviously you don't matter, anymore.

Friend, we can't go back to the way things were anymore. If you are not there for me through my pain then there is no reason for you to be there for my happiness. We can't have regular talk if we avoid the hard stuffs.

So I bid you goodbye. The next time we talk, I would smile and exchange pleasantries but you'll never feel my care anymore, and it's all because you never cared enough to care...

Sincerely,

-D
