An open, running letter to Jolie; my daughter.

The purpose of these letters is for Jolie to read when she gets old enough. Right now I do not get to see her or talk to her. This is a poor substitute for that but it is all I have got at the moment. Read it, leave a comment if you like, and subscribe or leave an email address if you'd like to get my letters to my daughter in your email inbox. Thanks for visiting my page, and God bless you :D

Inspiration

Jolie,
As I write these words, I can see you in my mind's eye, playing dress up and having fun. I think about you constantly, every day in fact. I have not written here in a month or so because it has been very hard for me to learn to deal with being away from you. I do not get to talk to you, even though I make calls and do try to get through. I love you very much, and not hearing your voice does not make me forget you. Instead it hardens my resolve to push through this adversity and it is a goal I have set, to be with you again one day.
 I bought you a dress but I did not send it to you yet because I think you might not get it. If you do, it might not be 'from Daddy'.  So I am still trying to figure that one out. Either way, eventually I am going to send it to you regardless of the outcome. It is a chance I am going to have to take.
 I am still in school, and today is my first day back in class from a much-needed break. I am getting this degree to better my life, and ultimately, to be able to provide a better life for you in the long run. Any time I feel like I want to quit, I see your face smiling back at me from my desk top and I know I can get through whatever life throws at me. You are a source of strength for me and you inspire me, and I am very proud to call you my daughter. I hope one day when you are able to read this you can say the same thing about me. I am going to do everything I can to make sure it is easy for you to do that.
 I love you very much, Jolie and I will never give up on trying to see you or talk to you. I am your Daddy and it is my responsibility to be there for you, and I will be, through whatever may come.
You're my inspiration! I love you, Jolie.
Daddy
