Dear Lili,

This is why, after she and I split up. I never said anything bad to you about your mother.

Love,

Your Dad

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?

Dear Lili,

I missed you again yesterday on Children’s Day. Someday I hope you will come to realize who your father really is and how much he loves you, and always has. When we were separated, a big piece of my heart was torn out. I will continue to hope that you remember the happy times we shared together and that one day you will come knocking at my door. Until then

You are always in my heart.

Love always,

Your Dad XOXOXOX

Your Dad loves you with all his heart. Always has. Always will.

Your Dad never abandoned you.

Your Dad would be in your life if he could be.

Your Dad tried very hard to be a part of your life.

Your Dad fought for you in court and through his government.

Your Dad misses you every day.

Your Dad cherishes every moment he got to spend with you.

Your Dad is not the person you may have come to believe he is.

Your Dad has his faults, like everybody else, but he’s basically a good guy.

Your Dad will always be there for you should you decide to come around someday.

Dear Lili,

I had a dream about you last night. I was down in Florida at Nonnie and Poppie’s house. In the dream, they were still alive and we were having a family get-together. Then the phone rang and Nonnie said it was you! I picked up the phone and talked with you for the first time in over seven years. You told me that it was good for families to be together at holiday time. I asked you if you remembered coming to Florida and going to Disney World with me, and you said you did. In your voice I could hear that you wanted to see your Daddy again.

But then I woke up and realized that it was all a dream. I’ve had that kind of dream before where you and I are family again, but upon awakening I discover of course that it wasn’t real. These are what I call the “Good Dreams Gone Bad”. And when they happen I always wake up with tears in my eyes.

I miss you so much, bubby. I wish you could look into my heart and see just how much I love you.

You’re always in my heart.

Daddy

I’m thinking about you always and wishing that 2012 is the year when the two of us will be reunited again, as a father and daughter ought to be.

You are always in my heart.

Love always,

Daddy XOXOXOXOXOXOX
