Dear Daddy,
I'm really very sorry that we didn't get the chance to come to LA. I'm very disappointed that we missed the opportunity to see you. Well you can always come to Washington, that wouldn't hurt you, you know! I really want you to see you're grandchildren! It's not fair that they should miss out just because we live in two different worlds. That's strange, we live in two different worlds but in the same country. It's very weird.
Anyway, we didn't come because Jerry's mom came down from New York. She's just lost her husband, Jerry's dad. It was so sad we went up there for a few weeks to comfort her but Jerry thought that it would be better for her to get away, so she came and stayed with us. She kept saying stuff like, she didn't want to put us out with the illness and all. I had no idea what she was talking about but in situations like this it's usually best not to say anything.
I thought about getting in touch with Francie but I don't know where to start. Dad I think I mentioned in one of my previous letters that I'd like to see her. Please help me. I can't exactly ring up Weiss and ask him to track her down can I? Not after what happened anyway. He would never speak to me, no matter how hard I pleaded. Maybe there'll be a day some time when he'll be able to find it in him to forgive me for what I did. I didn't have a choice. I swear I was left with no other option!
I'm very nervous. Jerry was speaking with Dr. Lane. Did I tell you about him? He's my psychiatrist. Anyway, apparently there's some stuff that he's discovered that will make our marriage better. Isn't that great? Jerry always talks to Dr. Lane after I've been to a session. I guess that patient confidentially doesn't work when it comes to family. They walk around me like I'm sick or something. Don't worry though, they're just discussing options for other sessions and stuff.
I can't even remember the last time I spoke to someone that I really trusted. Dr. Lane is good like that. He listens and makes a few casual suggestions. I feel I can trust him even more than I trust Jerry. Maybe that's wrong, maybe it's natural. I don't know anymore. I'm just so tired. In fact it was Dr. Lane who made the suggestion that I try to write to you. I didn't know that there would be a problem with getting you to write back! Please Daddy. I forgive you all the mistakes that you made in my life now I need you to forgive me mine!
Tomorrow Jerry and I are having a day together, we talked about it just before I started this letter. The kids are going to the baby sitters and we're going to spend the day shopping and walking in the park. It's been so long since I had the chance to spend some quality time with my husband. Tomorrow I think I'll mention visiting you again to him, I don't think that he's remembered that we were going to do that over the Summer. We'll get there one day, don't worry.
Daddy, please, please, please get in contact with me. I miss you so much. I really, really want to see you. I got out the photo album the other day to show the kids. I noticed that there weren't a lot of photos taken after mom died. I think that's where we went wrong. I know that she was a bad woman but we still should have grieved properly. Instead you were gone and I lived with a stranger! Don't worry, I forgive you for that, I forgive you for everything.
Well I guess I better go. Just please write to me or call or anything. I don't care I just want to know that everything is okay and that you're happy. It's all I care about. Well I suppose that I can only hope to hear from you soon. Bye Daddy.
Love always
Sydney.
