Fatherless Child

My journey began on the coldest of days the 28th of december is the birth of my day. As a baby i dont remember to much , only the warmth of my mother and the strength of her touch. Mommy says i look just like my daddy ,skinny and tall and always so happy. If i dont have a daddy , does that make me bad , where is my daddy and why are you sad. I ask my mommy why is he gone , was it me , did i do something wrong , does he not love me , why did he leave , he will return to us mommy this i believe. Mommy held me close and kissed my head as the tears fell down with face turned red , mommy tried to speak but had no sound as she fell to the floor and sat on the ground. Mommy why are you sad , what did i say , can you tell me the reason my dad went away. Mommy took a breath and began to speak but the sound that came out was a small little squeak. Mommy began again with love in her eye. I will tell you the truth and never will lie. Your daddy was a young fearful guy , he made some mistakes and was caught in a lie , daddy cheated on mommy with five other ladies, he was careless and stupid and made five other babies. Mommy wants you , and loves you , and watched you grow , and will never leave you this she hopes you know. I know you have questions about your dad , when you think of him you get so sad , I will answer all questions that you have in mind your dad in some ways was one of a kind. I make this promise always and true my feelings of love are pure and true ,you are my son , my world , my friend i will love you forever there is no end. (Dedicated to my mother , for not leaving me like my father did.) (I love you mom always my firend always there for me.) 04/17/2012. 1:04am.
