Iona,

I wish I could have remained in contact and been there for you. I tried so hard to make it work. In the end I couldn’t and not seeing you has been the saddest thing I have ever had to bear.

I hope you will come and find me one day and I can try to make up for all these lost years. It is very complicated but I will explain my reasons when you are older. Maybe then you will understand why this is for the best.

Until that time you should know that I think about you every day and I miss you.

Daddy
