Title: Who's Your Daddy?

I met your real father in Miami in late 1979 or early in 1980. At the time I was calling myself Joy and I was into the drug scene. Sonny Burnett was a friend of my dealer. To a small town girl from the midwest, he was the perfect guy, rich and seriously handsome. He lived on a yacht called the "St. Vitus' Dance" and drove a Ferrari. The fact that he was rumored to be a smuggler just made it more exciting.

We became lovers and for a while it was great. When I found out that I was pregnant, I realized that I was in over my head. I didn't want to expose my child to my lifestyle and I was afraid of telling Sonny. He'd been getting more short tempered and was starting to scare me. I left him while he was on one of his "business trips."

I didn't dare go home as your grandparents would have killed me and I didn't want to stay in Miami either. I hopped a bus and headed to LA. I met Hank a couple of months later.

After the divorce I tried to track down Sonny, not to hook up with him but out of curiosity. He dropped out of sight by 1990. Considering his involvement with drugs, he's probably dead or in hiding.

I wish I had the courage to tell you face to face.

I'm sorry.

Love,

Mom

"Willow, could you do a computer search for me?"
