“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” — ‘Atticus Finch’ from To Kill a Mockingbird

I tried to do just that for you, Lili. I wish I could have won that one. All I ever wanted was to be a part of your life, and to protect your identity and your name.
Daddy XOXOXOX
