21. Thank you for nothing

Dear Bob:

I'm writing to you just because Simmons forced me to do it. I was sitting here the last 2 hours and I couldn't think of anything to say to you, so I thought that I've to use the truth. So I'll start:

Happy Father's day! I've so many things to thank you, but only I'll share my top ten.

1. Thanks for: Not coming to my sport games: Really, I've to say "thank you", always that you were with my in a competition, you made me fells incompetent or not good enough. With your absence, I feel free to be myself.

2. Thanks for: Thinking only in Olga: This is your speciality, for so long I hate this, but looking behind at it now, I'm grateful to not be forced to be perfect, I mean, you don't expect anything from me. It hurt at the beginning, but now Bliss showed me that it is not important your opinion (or nobody one, except mine).

3. Thanks for: Didn't taking me to school: If you and Miriam had taken me to school, I never would have seen how amazing…some people are, so thank you for that.

4. Thanks for: Never be caring with me: Thank you so much! I hate cheesy people! They're disgusting! You made me a strong girl that never expects anything from anyone.

5. Thanks for: Being rude with me and others: Unintentionally, you taught me a lot, how I can defend myself, I have to admit.

6. Thanks for: Not remembering my name: At the beginning, I never liked "Helga", a horrible variety from "Olga's name", but with the passing time I learned that I prefer Helga against Olga, except for the name with "G"... I'm still angry, I can't imagine a scenario where I love that name.

7. Thanks for: Never taking care of me when I was sick: Usually I don't get sick, but when I do…. I do it big! I know how to survive with fever or stomach ache, a difference from the other guys from my class.

8. Thanks for: Not feeding to me: This one you have to share the credit with Miriam, was a team's work, but thank you! You showed me how some people, like Phoebe's parents, could be good people.

9. Thanks for: Never be there for me: Like the number 7, I learned how to face my fights, I'm strong and no one can against me.

10. Thanks for: Being yourself: Yeah, thank you so much! You showed me a perfect example of "how mustn't be a dad", when I'll grow up, I know what kind of person I don't want to be, and I know, now I'm just like you… But I hope that someone will change my mind… Anyway, happy day, although I know that you will never read this.

Sincerely:

Helga, NOT OLGA!
