It did evoke emotion in her and it was a way to keep the door open only she chose to close it again.

Whenever you write like this I just wanna sit down with a drink and have a man-cry.<BR/><BR/>Good grief. <BR/><BR/>I agree with Lou, try again, but may I suggest instead of a letter, send a big card and some pictures of you, Bill and the kids. Perhaps, put a colored ribbon inside the card with a lock of your hair to remind him of your living physical presence?<BR/><BR/>Just a thought. Crap, I gotta go find some tissue now. *sniff*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426749039913631460.post-64415754290068691032009-03-18T22:05:00.000-06:002009-03-18T22:05:00.000-06:00That's awful Kate.

In fact, I used the second pile of cash he sent me to get a lot of things done around the new house I moved in with the help of the first amount he sent me. <BR/>What a neat story, glad you shared it!<BR/>benBenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09010864129122224612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426749039913631460.post-37397975901574946502009-03-18T21:16:00.000-06:002009-03-18T21:16:00.000-06:00Hi Lou!Unfortunately, I haven't spoken to him sinc...Hi Lou!<BR/>Unfortunately, I haven't spoken to him since before I bought the house. I thought this letter might help, but he never called me again. He sees my little sister, who is his biological child (myself and my older brother are adopted) but not us.<BR/>I was so hurt by his refusal to reply, that I haven't called him. He's 75 now.becomingkatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233315426856228689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1426749039913631460.post-17453545676125884142009-03-18T20:43:00.000-06:002009-03-18T20:43:00.000-06:00Wow Kate, that was lovely.

Firstly how great that your dad could help you out of a tight spot but more importantly I imagine this made a great difference to your relationship that you were able to share how much he meant to you.
