Berikut isi surat Marshanda kepada sang ayah yang dia bagikan di caption atau takarir unggahannya:

"I wrote this on August 18th 2020 and regret not posting it that very day. Now I decided to share this letter I made for Papa. Because I hope someone will read this and tell my dad about this poem I wrote for him. So, he’d know how much he Still means to me. How much I still remember him. And how deep in my heart, the place where I keep my everlasting love for him. I dont know why, it’s written in our story that we should be separated in this lifetime, Pa. And we’re only together in a few of old photographs. We are together as one, very vividly, in my memories."

"However you are. Know, you are forgiven. You’re doing your best every single time. Don’t ever feel like a failure. You’re not. You’re my dad. And I love you so much more than you know. I accept you. With all your beauty and all your flaws. This moment i hope you feel this. And remember me. And smile again. If forever is what it takes to remember you, than I say it’s ok. If having you means having you only in my memories, it is okay. I am grateful. Thank you for spending the first five years of my life being the warm, funny, loving person that you were for me. Thank you. For being born, for still being alive in your nonexistence in my life. I accept you. Your past. Your journey. Our story."

"I hope my love gives you a bit of joy in another breath you take. After reading this letter I made for you."

Berikut isi surat Marshanda kepada sang ayah:

“My August 18th”

I have lost so much that I love
I understand nothing’s ever belong to me

But tonight
I cherish our time together
I cherish all of our short little steps together

But if having you close to me was meant to be that short in my life
I want you to know
I am grateful to have our relationship
Even within your absence, I feel you exist

And I think of you
I look for pictures with you in it
And I thought I am over the phase of missing you and crying because of that.
But I guess this time I just feel you.
I hope you know.
I think of you.
On your birthday.

I hope you know. I love you.
I accept you.
Forever you’re in that deep deep part of my heart.
And I hope I am in yours, too.

I hope your soul smiles when you read this.

It’s August 18th.

You’re my August 18th.

Happy birthday,
Papa.
