A present from the heart

Dear dad, You have raised me but not well.You taught me how to ride my bike when I was twelve. I know how much you struggle and try to be there for me but I will always know you tried. If I knew how life was like growing up, I would have known better. Those times you push me down, I stand up stronger. You maybe not be the greatest dad to me but I at least understand that you are trying to change that. If life has taught me one thing is that you didn't have a good life to begin with and now you are showing me how I can be a better man than you were at my age. I know that I am lucky enough to have a dad. Not just a dad. But a dad that haven't taught me anything because you told me it's better to learn and experience new things alone and hopefully I am able to become a man like himself so I don't go through the same mistakes he made. I'm sorry I wasn't the best son but I know I will take every step I take to become a stronger one. Happy Father's Day to a hard working dad just trying to help and support me even though there is not much words I can explain to you how much I've held back against you! Sincerely, Your son, James
