A sad letter written by a father to his son in his old age
As I sit here in the twilight of my years, a heavy heart compels me to write this letter. The shadows lengthen, and with them comes a profound sense of reflection. I remember the days when I held you in my arms, your laughter filling our home with joy. Those memories are the brightest in my life.
Time has a cruel way of slipping through our fingers, leaving us with regrets and unspoken words. I feel an aching distance between us now, a chasm that has grown wider with each passing year. I have always tried to be strong for you, to guide you with wisdom and love, but in my old age, I realize I may have fallen short in ways I never intended.
I regret the moments of harshness, the words spoken in anger that I can never take back. I wish I had spent more time showing you how much I cared, rather than being preoccupied with the burdens of life. The days when we could have talked openly and shared our hearts seem so far away now.
As I face the twilight of my existence, my greatest sorrow is the thought that I may have failed you as a father. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive my shortcomings. Know that despite everything, my love for you has never wavered. You are, and always will be, my beloved son.
