Dear O and C,
Happy Birthday my dearest O! I can’t believe you are a teenager! Where does the time go? I haven't really known you at all since you were 9 years old. That’s the last time we’ve had contact prior to the Ex-Parte your mother filed. Since then, I’ve only gotten a small glimpse into your lives. I can only speculate and guess about how your lives are going, and what you’ve been up to. That doesn’t mean I don’t think about you every day. I do. I am constantly hoping and praying for your safety, health, and well being. I am very certain that God has been keeping a close eye on you and helping you navigate life to the best of your abilities, and for that, I am grateful.
I have a small piece of good news to share with you both. Your mother recently agreed to send me updates every couple of months, with information regarding the two of you. I asked if I could communicate with you via email or text, and she said no. I also asked if I could send you gifts on your birthdays, and Christmas, she said no to that as well. However, I’m looking at this recent agreement to share information with me as a victory, and maybe one very small step towards the healing of our relationship. O, I sent your mother a happy birthday wish using the communication app. I hope your mother shared it with you. I am very much looking forward to an update from your mother so I can hear how the both of you are doing. I asked how you are doing in school, if you are playing any sports, what your interests and hobbies are. Hopefully once that information is shared with me, I can at least get a small glimpse into how your lives are going. I love you both so much and I hope you are doing well. O, I hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration.
Love,
Dad
