Jolie,
As I sit here today and write this, a lot of new things have happened lately and right now my life is in the midst of a whirlwind. I found out my mother, your grandmother, is alive and well and wants to repair our relationship that was severed unfortunately over forty years ago. I am more than willing to work on this and have readily accepted her back into my life. I do so, because I know how it feels to be alone and have no hope. I also am doing it for you, because you need to know who she is and feel that love she has to offer you. I never want the feeling of being alone for you and so I write these notes so that when you read them you can understand why things happened the way they did. Some things in life we just have no control over, but when the chance comes to right a wrong, make amends, or start over, you should take it and run with it.
I also have a sister I never knew about so that means you have a brand new aunt and she is very nice. For the past week I have been talking with them over the phone and just building, building, building, our new relationships and clearing the air about all the mystery that has clouded my life for so long.
I know you'll be turning five this fall and ready to start school, I just hope I can find a way to convince your mother to let me visit with you before that happens. I wish I could take you for ice cream, just like we used to do before all this started. I think about you every day and always picture you in my mind's eye running and playing dress-up, with my clothes that are way too big for you. But you didn't let that stop you from putting on my boots, now did it! :) "I'm going to work with you, Daddy" is what you would say when I asked. Don't worry, work will come too soon for you, but first you'll need to finish college.
I say college because I want to make sure you have that opportunity, which I never had until now. I have a little surprise in store for you concerning that and I wont write about it here just now, but that information will come soon enough. Let's just say that it will be a huge help in the future for you.
In the meantime I am going to keep doing what I am doing and then putting in the work to make things happen. I can't give up on you, because I know you would never give up on me. I am just not made like that. I'll always be here for you and I will never give up on my quest to get you back in my life where you belong. My darling daughter,
I love you so very much,
Daddy
