22 Years

22 years ago I was born. My dad tells me all the time about how beautiful I was and the full head of hair I had. He tells me all the time how much he loves me and how important I am to him. I have always felt loved by him and know that I am his world.

My dad has always told me these kinds of things because he really does cherish me and supports me. He is what a father should be and what I want my kids’ father to be like as well. Always there, always supporting, and always loving.

My father also had a hard time dealing with my birth because it reminds him of us losing our mother. My mother died shortly after giving birth due to complications called postpartum hemorrhage. Basically she lost too much blood during the birth and we lost her.

It may seem weird but I remember her. I remember her through the stories my dad has shared and all the pictures and videos friends and family have. I feel like I knew her very well and still know her.

It’s truly is a bittersweet situation and although I would love to be able to meet my mother and be able to spend time with her, just like every other girl does with their mom, I don’t know if I would want to change what I have. I know I wouldn’t want to give up all the time I have spent with my father. I also know that he wouldn’t want to sacrifice any of our relationship either.

This past Mother’s Day, just like the others, we spent telling stories and sharing memories of my mother.

It’s been 22 years and my dad reminds me every day how much I remind him of my mother and how beautiful she is.

  1. This just breaks my heart but love this girls attitude and how she has handled her situation. Her mother would be so proud of her and it sounds like she has an amazing father as well.
