Dear Jolie,
I have lived a through a lot of adversity, but nothing is as bad as being separated from you. The pain of it happens daily. So I try to minimize any chances from any other source that could potentially harm me. Unfortunately for me, I have not been successful in that as of late.
I am the sort of guy to readily care about people in general; I'm not the type to turn my back on anyone. I hope I've passed this quality on to you, Jolie. I don't mean be gullible, but what I do mean is have compassion for others, and above all be open and truthful in your relationships. Don't hide your thoughts or feelings from your friends or family. It will only build up inside you and cause resentment and anger. Hard feelings can follow, and that's never a good thing.
Even someone with the best communication skills in the neighborhood can get this wrong. None of us are perfect. It's taken me most of my life to understand and work this principle, probably because I did not have much guidance as a child. Sometimes I wonder if you were born when I was twenty years old, where would I be right now? Life is hard to figure out most days.
I'm happy you are here are now and that is what matters most. You changed my life the day you were born. The day of your birth is the best thing that has ever happened to this man, and I will always love you and be proud of you. I'll continue to keep working on what I need to for your welfare. Life is a struggle every day, and right now mine is far from a picnic. I'm just barely out of the gate. I do know this for certain: I'm your Daddy; I love you Jolie and I always will.
love, Daddy
