Dear Lili,

I wonder if you remember that you wanted to go camping with me one day. You told me you wanted to “roast weiners on the fire.”

I like to go camping whenever I can. It’s one of my favorite pastimes. Here’s a picture of me on top of Kita-dake, the second highest mountain in Japan at 3.193 meters. I went there last August as part of a six-day trip in the Minami Alps. It was really beautiful.

This is a picture I took of Mount Fuji early in the morning near the Kita-dake Sanso where I camped out overnight. I love this shot. The light was just right.

I hope to take you camping someday still if you ever want to go. I know lots of cool places and I’m sure you would enjoy it. Tanoshii yo!

I think about you every day, bubby. I hope you’re well and happy and that I can see you again soon.

Love always,

Dad

Dear Lili,

This site is dedicated to you, my daughter, Liliana Del Vecchio, who I haven’t seen for almost seven years. I hope that someday you will seek me out and learn the truth of who your father is, how much he loves you, and how hard he has tried to be a part of your life.

Today is Father’s Day, and for me it is the saddest day of the year. It is sad because I am longer able to spend it with my only child, and also because a little girl cannot spend it with the Daddy she once loved so much.

I think about you every day and look forward to the day when we can meet each other again. As I told you before many times:

YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART!

Love forever,

Your Dad
