Gorgeous essay. I can so relate to this. My dad was an absentee also, but we remained close once I became an adult and could fly to Europe to visit now and again. I have felt like an amputee ever since he passed. Girls and their daddies have a special, unique relationship and bond, so strong. Thanks for sharing this, Steffany. It helps.
