I am seeing all the people I know post about their fathers. 

I can’t. I mean, I could but what would I say? It’s not that my father is dead. It’s that he has been out of my life for virtually 2 years at this point. Ever since we found out he was cheating on my mom for three years prior, my life has never been the same.

 I moved halfway across the country to a major metro area from a small town. Taking an online class and working a job.  

What else can I say? Every time today that I see others celebrating having a dad I remember I, for all intents and purposes, don’t have one.
