Hey dad, I know that we've not been close for quite some time now. I really hope that at some point that could change, but for right now, all I want is for you to say that you are proud of me. It really hurt when you didn't even aknowledge me getting my A-levels years ago, and that when I got my Bachelor's you told me that all students are stupid.

congrats. I have only completed a bachelors and it was hard. I literally spent blood and tears (and tons of sweat). And my guess is that you had to go through something similar (maybe not the blood part, i hope not the blood part). That shows that you have are committed and dedicated. Sorry I could not be with you for your convocation, and I do not deserve to be forgiven. I only wish you success and happiness in your life. What I have learnt in my life is - hard work pays off. I am not relegious, and will not go in to "god works in mysterious ways" kinda shit, but what i have learned is that if you make honest efforts, you can achieve stuff. If you failed, then do not be upset about it. It is natural to be upset, but to try again and succeed is even more satisfying. Best of luck for rest of your life. I'm proud of you and what you have achieved.3
