Dear Joseph and Lucia,

My bag is packed and in the car. I’m headed back to Richardson as soon as the work day is done. I can’t wait to be with the family.

Some recent events in my rental house brought to mind the events of my past. All I can say is an over-zealous mother can be a pain to deal with. Lucia, I sure hope you will be able to remember what really happened compared to what your mother told you. You are my only daughter and I will go to the end of the world to protect you from any harm. It still knocks me for a loop when I think about what I was accused of.  I want to vomit at the thought.

Just know your father loves you and always has and never stopped.

Love,
Dad

P.S.  Still waiting.
