There are so many strangers amongst us. And so many that enter our lives and end up becoming our friends, enemy's, acquaintances ,lovers, husbands, wives etc.
In my particular case a stranger came into my life and ended up being my Dad.
As we had conversations each and every day, I cherished every single moment. Every single text meant the world to me and every phone call felt like a blessing. I just love being in contact with my Dad, and I get it's not the same relationship most children have with their fathers but to me it still felt very special and filled with love.
My dad sent me a photograph of a sign he saw which said "Enter as strangers, leave as friends " and I couldn't help but think, holy shit, I never knew who you was, you was a stranger and your my dad and I just cannot wait to meet you.
I have cried, laughed , got excited and told the world about how I cannot wait to meet my Dad for the very first time. I cannot begin to even imagine the way I will feel when I see my dad in real life for the first time and not over a video call. What will that feel like?
My Dad so far, has given me nothing but advice, love , reassurance and time. Something I don't expect from anyone but feel so blessed to receive it and I feel so happy all the time I could cry with happiness every day that I have found my father, even though he is the other side of the world and 5 hours behind in time difference, I am willing to find a way to make sure time never gets in my way of being in touch with my Dad.
