Yesterday, we reported of the tragic death of a 13-year-old girl who plunged from the 8th floor of Kuen Cheng Secondary School in KL on Tuesday (Oct 1).
Since her passing, her family has been gripped with unspeakable pain and sorrow, with her father penning a heartbreaking farewell letter to her on social media.
Dad bids tearful goodbye to KL school building victim
Taking to his personal social media account, the father of the victim wrote that he had been unable to sleep for the past two days as he was still coming to terms with her passing.
I can’t pretend anymore and I don’t want to hold it in. I just want to cry my eyes out. On the surface, Daddy may seem strong, but my heart has its vulnerable moments too.
“Whenever I close my eyes, all I see are memories of you. And your smile. I miss you so much,” he said.
The grief-stricken father then bemoaned the fact that his daughter chose to hide all of her pain inside instead of sharing it with her family who loved her deeply.
He also expressed deep regret that he only learnt how important it was for him for openly express his love, which came at the cost of his daughter’s life.
You taught me how to say ‘I love you’ openly, but you exchanged your life to do so. It’s not worth it! Don’t you know how precious life is?
“Before you made the decision (to end your life), why didn’t you tell me? Why must you learn from my example (of not speaking up)? Daddy was wrong. I’m sorry and I love you. Please forgive me,” he wrote sorrowfully.
Towards the end of the heart-rending post, the victim’s father thanked her for the years of memories they shared when she was still alive and told her to rest in peace.
