| I don�t even know if you married, and if I am a grandfather or not. You don�t know how many times, I wished I could have gone back in time and made things right for you. I know I should have at least called you, but I did not want to hear you say, �Daddy, please come home�. I am not sure, if I am writing this letter correctly or not. My spelling must be awful. Sure hope you can read my writing. |

| Yes, I have been drinking. Maybe, that�s why I had to write this letter to you. I have spent many nights along side of the road in a ditch. Don�t have any money for a room. But, I do have my bottle. Don�t know how many states I have been to. Truthfully, I am not sure where I am now. I Just hope that you will read this, and know, that I do Love You, Very Much. Tell your mother I am ok, if she should care, and hope that she is too. |
| I hope that someday, you can forgive me, for not being in your life sooner. All My Love, Now and Forever, Dad |

| Several weeks later, I called my Mother and Dad, and asked about a letter from you. They said, �You got the letter back�. It went to Dallas, San Diego, Phoenix, Baltimore, then back here to Chicago. �A note was attached to the letter, from the Post Office,� my mother said. It said, �If you would like to forward this letter to the correct address, here is the new address that we have found�. Attention: Our Daughter Cindy C/O Jesus in Heaven Zip 26435 (Angel) My Heart just stopped beating, as the memories came back to life. I realized, no matter how drunk I was, that our daughter had passed away, many years ago, at the age of 5. She would have been 35 now. |
