My name is Carmelitia Henderson. My dad's name is Fred Henderson. My dad has been locked up for thirty years now going on thirty one. Without him life has been difficult. I've never got to hug my dad, spend time with my dad, or even just be in the same room with my dad. When your a girl and your dad isn't around to show you the does and don't in life you make bad decisions and learn a lot the hard way. I have children that he's never met and that wants to meet him. Even tho he missed out on my childhood he has a chance to be apart of my children's lives his grandchildren. My dad has life without the possibility of parole.
I miss my dad every weaping moment of my life. I don't want him to die behind bars neither do my children. When I talk to him and I break down and cry he can't hold me and tell me everything will be okay. He's done his time and is a changed man. He wants more than anything to be here with his only daughter only child and grandchildren. It may not mean anything to the world but it means everything to me for my dad to come home. He made a mistake that took me years to forgive because he missed everything. He's suffered enough and so have I.
All I want is my dad my best friend to be here to be apart of our life. I love my dad and I've forgiven him. For a very long time I was upset. Upset and wondered how could he just leave me. It's so much he's missed out on. My birth my prom my graduation the birth of my children and so much more. He also has the chance to gain a lot through my children. Please help me bring my daddy home my children's grandfather we all miss him dearly. The phone calls and letters aren't enough anymore. Can't wait another thirty years.
