Letter to Sue's Father

 
May 20, 2015





Dear Sue’s Father:


I hope you are doing well when you receive this letter.  First of all, let me congratulate you because you are the father of a great human being, that was raised without your protection and care, and even with this handicap, the mother of your son was able to raise a decent man that is willing to fight for its justice and respect.


I don’t know the reasons why you abandoned your son, but in my opinion, a real man will never leave their sons without their care and protection.  You were selfish and irresponsible.  And you deserve the hater you son show to you when he finally find you.  It was a very difficult journey to reach adulthood.  And you know what, the name you gave your son only made him stronger. 


Calling Sue, a women name, to a boy, it’s a really cruel thing to do.  But leaving your child without your protection is really worst.  Battling against bullying and gaining respect had only to do partially with the name, life brings difficult situations to teenagers that need the parent support to overcome them.  You were not there.  And yes, your son, only with the help of his mother, became a good men.  But a men that is not willing to support hate and injustice from other people. A man that stands for what he believes.


So please, don’t try to justify yourself that you named your son Sue intentionally, to make him strong.  You deserve his indifference, not a battle as he did, but simply you don’t deserve is attention.  And you son did it without you.


My advice to you is to ask your son to pardon you. And if he gives you the opportunity, be part of his life now.  No more excuses.  Don’t think the name Sue was the reason for his strong development.  He had a mother and a great character that made him succeed.


Sincerely,





Gerardo J. Colon
