Dear Lili,
I’m thinking about you as I always do, but even more so on this day. I was just thinking about how, fourteen years ago, I saw your little face for the first time, and how I understood at that moment what true love really was. You filled my heart with joy, and I wouldn’t change a moment of my life if it meant not knowing you and being your Dad.
I wish I could give you presents and such on this day, but, well, my gifts are no longer being accepted in your household. So I continue with this blog in the hopes that someday you will Google your birth name and see for yourself who I really am, and make your own judgments about your father. These posts are like messages in a bottle that I hope someday you will find on the shore of your new hometown.
Until then know that your Dad loves you with all his heart, and that you are ever a part of my life. Don’t ever feel reluctant in any way to contact me if and whenever you get the notion. I will always be here for you.
Happy 14th Birthday, Bubby!
Love always,
Your Dad XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
P.S. Here are some pictures of your 5th birthday weekend that I thought you’d enjoy. Remember your little friend Kenta?
