VERONICA “Kitty” Duterte, daughter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, expressed how much she missesher father in an emotional Instagram post.
“Da, it wouldn’t bother me one bit if I had to send you letters every single day, because I know how much you love them. I know how you appreciate my hideous penmanship because it’s exactly like yours,” she wrote.
She reminisced about how her father treasured her childhood letters, saying, “The world doesn’t know the side of you that keeps all his little girl’s letters hung up on his wall, even to this day. And to think I am turning 21 now, but you display those decade-old papers like they’re trophies.”
Kitty also expressed how much she misses his presence at home. “It’s safe to say I’m one of the loneliest these days, because I’m pretty sure I’m the only one left who’s used to sleeping beside you at 20 years old. The room is so different now, without the loud snoring and the sleep talking in Bisaya. I have no one to fight over the aircon temperature, the TV volume, or which lights to leave on.”
She ended her message with a heartfelt promise: “I am thinking of you every day, Dada, not just me, but the millions of people with this immense love for you. We will be waiting for your return home!”
