I never got to say goodbye. And I never told you that you were going to be a father.
Our daughter grew up strong. Kind. She has your heart.
I told myself I was protecting you. That I was giving you a chance at a better life.
But the truth is… I was afraid.
If I ever had the chance, I would’ve told you everything. I would’ve told you I never stopped loving you.
You deserved to know.
If you’re reading this now… I’m sorry it took this long.
And I hope, somehow, you found your way to us.
