Roberta Powers: tanker om livet og faderen

She is coming right back home from job and no other than her is at home.

Roberta sits in a chair and relaxes.

My father is unknown which he has been since I came to the world. My mother says that he left her in a week because of another woman. That was the days just before my birth.

On my 15 year old birthday I received a letter from my father. He was probably thinking that I should know the truth about him and my mother - which I didn’t knew at that point. Before this, I had never heard a single word from him so I wouldn’t open it. I lay it in a safety box, I had in my room.

Then the years passed by and I was getting older. I forgot everything about the letter from my father. When I was 19 years old I was moving away from my mothers house and once again I found the letter from my father. This time I opened it, I remembered the text as if I read it yesterday. In the letter there were two words and a phone number, precisely written down like this: “Call me - +358 3 355 111.”
