[@21308] I have always loved my dad and he didn't need to be forgiven. I always understood. It was just hard to be without him. I wished to see him every birthday for a long time. I never met my dad in person till I was nine. It never hurt me though. It just made my mom and me closer. I was never jealous of others and understood as a child that parents could be unhappy staying together. It had nothing to do with me. I was loved by both, just one had trouble showing it. I thought it was very sweet of him to say it but I felt bad that he had beat himself up over me. I didn't want him to be sad by the way things turned out because everything happens for a reason. If my parents had stayed together, I would not have two beautiful sisters. I have not gotten to meet them in person but I have talked to them. I love them.
