[hometext] => Written to my father who is in jail...sent him this in a letter
[bodytext] => Sometimes I sit and wonder where you were when I needed you most. Where you were on those days I cried, on my birthday, on Christmas and every other holiday. You never wrote me; you never called, so where were you? I guess you never really realized that you had a third child, you never stopped by. When I left to go to a private school, you still never wrote or called. Where were you? You never said you loved me, or that I remember. I was just wondering if you ever even hugged me. You wrote my sister and my brother on their birthdays, but you never wrote me on my birthday. Where were you? Don’t you know I exist? I wonder what I am in your life, am I something or am I nothing? Well, from what I experienced I’m nothing to you. You never acted like anything to me; you never cared about me, but I still called you daddy. And you know what, I’m still wondering, where you were. Now you’re sitting in jail, alone, and bored. It’s not my fault you’re there, so why should I care? … Right? … No, wrong. You’re my father. Yes, I do care. But I’m not going to grieve for you, because you were never there. So, where were you?
