"I just want you to remember"
/For as long as I can remember, my dad and I have been emotionally distant from one another.
When my first serious boyfriend and I broke up, I couldn't eat or sleep. I was pretty much in the deepest depression I have been in in a while.
My mom called my dad and told him that she was worried about me because I wasn't eating.
One day, I picked up the phone and heard this:
"I know you're upset and probably don't want to talk, but I just want you to remember that Daddy loves you."
I never told my dad that just those few words meant more to me than he will ever know.
