Dear Daddy,
I don't care how long it takes to get you to write to me! I'm going to keep doing it until I get a reply. Daddy, what did I do that was so wrong that you just won't talk to me at all anymore? I've asked for your forgiveness so many times, I don't know what you want. If you would just write to me and tell me. I'll do what ever it takes, please. I've forgiven you your mistakes, I said that, the least you can do is forgive me mine.
Well I may as well tell you, no use not. I'm going to have another baby. Isn't that exciting? Jerry wants another boy but I want another girl, isn't that always the way with parents? I have just about given up on my career. I think I'll worry about my family for another couple of years and then maybe go back to work when the kids are off to school and stuff like that. What do you think? Okay, now you really have to come and see us.
I told you that Jerry and I were planning to spend more time together. We've had three days out, just us two, now. Dr. Lane said that it was very good for us to spend time together, especially with the new baby on the way. We've been shopping and picnicking and two weeks ago we went away for the weekend. We had so much fun. We went horse riding and swimming in a river. We have a great baby sitter, who loves the kids and she was happy to stay with them over that weekend. We had so much fun.
Have you had the chance to speak to Francie? I've tried to look her up in the phone directory and on the internet but it's like she doesn't exist cause I can't find her anywhere. She probably got a silent number after Will died. It was all my fault. She was so hurt when she found out. Maybe she doesn't want to speak me. I wouldn't blame her, his death was my fault. If I had just gone back. Dr. Lane says that it's bad to dwell on the past because we have no power to change it. He's so smart. He doesn't know about Vaughn. I don't ever speak of him, not until now anyway.
Daddy, it would be really good if we could see you for Thanks giving or Christmas or something. It's been about five years since I last saw you. All I remember was the look of disappointment in your eyes. You have to know that I didn't mean it. It was an accident. He slipped, I didn't stop him but I didn't push him either. I never did it, it was his choice. Well it was sort of his choice. I don't even know why you care, you hated him. If this is why you won't speak to me then I understand but I still ask for your forgiveness.
Well I better go. Please, I beg you to get in contact with me. I can't live like this. I don't know what you think, I don't know how you feel, what you're thinking, what you think of me and it hurts. All I ask for is one simple letter, how hard is that? Daddy, please write to me. Hope to hear from you soon.
Lots of love always.
Sydney.
