Espero
I deleted the entries that I wrote about our relationship.
Maybe she isn’t conscious enough to understand why those things happened. Maybe she has not reflected, and does not see.
Maybe she isn’t a genuine person, and actually thinks I am evil.
Well, ten years have passed, and the only thing I have done is be a good father.
Maybe one day she will realize her mistakes, and accept that our daughter needs me.
The day that I meet my daughter is near. In this society, moving to Colorado or Wisconsin would make it harder, but not impossible.
Our daughter will know me, and she will know her sister as well.
I guess I just wish that she was a better person.
I wish that she was more aware of the damage she has done to our child.
Our child that I do not know.
I will not forgive her.
But our child will either see a happy family that is not hers, and wonder if what her mother told her about me was true, or she will come to her senses, and do what is best for our child.
I can only have hope.
