Catching my Breath

Dear Daddy, 

I missed you a little extra today.

It wasn’t a meltdown—just tiredness mixed with hormones—but somehow it felt like a beautiful, quiet wave of emotion. The past few weeks have been extraordinary, and I’m still catching my breath. Sleep has been scarce, life has been full of whirlwind moments, yet quietly, I’m mind-blown watching my dreams unfold, one by one.

I wish you were here to witness it with me.

Dreams That Kept Me Awake
For years, my dreams kept me awake at night, restless and determined. And through it all, you were there. You reminded me that I could create a life I truly desired. The journey wasn’t smooth, but patience, faith, and doing my part allowed everything to unfold.

I still remember missing my first flight to Brazil. I was devastated, crying when I called you, feeling like the universe had betrayed me. But you didn’t rush to fix things. You just listened. You let me pour out all my frustration and exhaustion. You told me to sleep, recharge, and keep going. “You’re so close,” you said.

Courage in the Face of Chaos
The next day, I booked another flight—just four hours before departure. Crazy? Absolutely. Risky? Definitely. But I was ready. Ready to leap, supported by your belief in me and the faith of everyone who encouraged me.

Brazil didn’t make life easy. Jet lag and unexpected challenges greeted me at every turn. But I was prepared. Reiki and persistence helped me survive that week, and every obstacle became a lesson in resilience.

Carrying You With Me
There are so many stories I still want to share with you. For now, The Greatest Showman playlist substitutes for your presence, your encouragement, and your unwavering belief in me. Listening to “Everything I Own” by Bread reminds me of how you prepared me for life without you—with love, wisdom, and faith that I could always chase my dreams.

Life without you isn’t easy. But it is beautiful. Every step forward, every dream realized, carries your voice, your lessons, and your faith in me. I feel you in every triumph, every challenge, every quiet reflection.

Thank You, Daddy
Thank you for showing me that life is bigger than fear, stronger than doubt, and brighter than setbacks. I’ll keep chasing my dreams, knowing somewhere, you’re smiling—and proud.

Always,

Your favourite daughter
