Dear Lili,
Happy 21st birthday, sweetheart. As always, I wish I could be there to spend it with you, but that’s not possible now. Someday, I hope, you’ll understand why. Just know that my choice was always to have been a part of your life. If you can just believe that, somehow, someway, that would be the answer to my prayers.
Twenty-one years ago today you came into my life, and I’ll always remember that as the happiest day of my life. And although I can’t give you any gifts today in person, I’ll do the best I can and give you the gift of memories. Here are a bunch of pics from when you born and from shortly after returning from the hospital. I hope you enjoy them.
So until I see you again, you have to know:
You are ALWAYS in my heart.
Love you more than words can say,
Daddy ❤ ❤ ❤
