Letter to Lili
“I know how hard it is for you when you feel pain. I know that you and I do not see things the same way and maybe we never will. I am sorry for whatever I have done to cause you to feel pain and I know that our divorce has been terrible for you.
I love you and do not want you to be in the middle of the war between your dad and me. I know it is terrible for you and rather than have you continue to experience that pain, I am going to withdraw for a while.“
“I want you to remember three things.
First, I do love you and want what is best for you.
Second, I will always be there for you if you need anything.
Third, if you ever change your mind and want to rebuild our relationship, nothing could make me happier.
I am only withdrawing for now to help you feel less pain and take you out of the middle of our war. I will keep in contact with you every few months or so. I will keep sending you birthday and Christmas cards. I hope you get them and I hope you will write back. I will always make sure you know where I am and how to reach me if I move. More than anything, I want you to have peace in your life and some day, I hope I can be a part of it.
I love you and I always will.”
