A Heartwarming Letter from Marshanda to Her Father, Reminiscing Childhood When They Were Still Together

Kapanlagi.com - Still remember the figure of Marshanda's biological father named Irwan? As is known, a few years ago, he was found in a quite pitiful condition, begging on the streets before finally being caught by officers from the South Jakarta Social Welfare Agency (P3S Sudin Sosial Jakarta Selatan). Now, he lives in a boarding school in Malang.

Perhaps many people feel that Marshanda hates or refuses to acknowledge her father. But that assumption is wrong. Last August, Irwan had a birthday, and it turns out that the star of the soap opera Bidadari had written a poetic letter.

The letter was written in English and titled 'My August 18th'. Essentially, this single mother tells the story of her memories of her father before they separated. Marshanda also emphasizes that she still continues to think about and love her father until this moment.

August 18th is the birthday of Marshanda's father. However, Caca only uploaded her letter to Instagram on Wednesday (16/9) yesterday. Caca regrets it.

"I wrote this letter on August 18th, 2020 and regret not uploading it that day. Now I am sharing the letter I made for my dad because I hope someone will read it and convey it to my dad. So he knows how much he still means to me. How much I still remember him. And how deep the love I keep in my heart for all the memories of his love," writes Marshanda.

2. Destined to Separate

Marshanda once felt the love of both parents until the age of 5 before they finally divorced. Although brief, it seems that this 31-year-old woman still remembers her time together with her father.

"I don't know why, we were destined to separate in this life, Dad. And we are only together in some old photos. Although faintly, in my memory, we were always together," she added.

3. Already Forgave Father

There may have been some mistakes made by the father in the past. However, Caca asserts that she has already forgiven him and moved on. She has wholeheartedly accepted her father.

"No matter who you are now, know that you have been forgiven. You always try your best. Never feel like a failure. You are my father and I love you more than you know. I accept you with all your beauty and flaws. At this moment, I hope you feel it and remember me, then smile again," she added.

"It doesn't matter if I need a long time to remember you. It doesn't matter if having you means only having you in memory. I feel grateful. Thank you for spending my first 5 years in life as a warm, funny, and loving figure for me. Thank you for being born into this world, for still existing in my existence. I accept you. Your past. Your journey. Our story,"
