Apologies heard loud and clear

Apologies heard loud and clear
by Sean Cutshall

Whether it is unsaid or vocalized, I have a apology to make clear. Due to my own fault, and the result of mistakes I have made in my past, I had to leave the side of my daughter and go away for a time. Nothing could have been more painful for a new father like myself, but one only I can understand it's value now.

I am home now, and although I no longer have the home or family I did when I left, I am still a father. The mother of my daughter, and I no longer are a couple, but we still share the perfection of our daughter. Each day I am able to spend with my daughter is special and ones I cherish with all my heart. There were many days over the past year I wondered where I would fit into her life, or if she would remember me, but that has all since be discarded. I see the need in her eyes for her father, and the memory she has for me. I feel the bond again between her and I, and relish the moments that become frozen in my mind everytime we are together. What she doesn't probably realize or recognize is the need in my eyes for my daughter. She is every bit the reason for the hope in my life.

Yeah, I'd life to just forget the past year, but I don't. I hold on to it for it's pain, and for the lesson's I've learned. I never want to be away from my daughter again, and no matter the distance she is away from me at any one moment, our hearts are together again. This bond is something special, and I will treat carefully, as I now know how fragile it can be.

I love you Keeley Rose Cutshall, and without you even saying, I know you are glad daddy is home. I am thankful, grateful and glad to have a chance to be dad again. I am Destiny Daddy, and I'm glad to be home.
