Dear Dad, February 19, 2023

I want to say I am sorry for the pain I caused you and the family. I was very disrespectful. I was so young, not that it is an excuse.

I remember you letting me drive you car so that I could get more learning.

I remember you having me over to the house and I would spend the night.

I remember you trying to be a father to not one but two children. One being a teen and the other just a child.

I now know how hard it is to take care of children, my own children. I made some mistakes and made the decision to give my ex full custody of the children. I see them once a week. I am trying so hard to do everything I can to stay in a healthy mental state. I want to do better for my children. I fight hard everyday.

I want to say thank you for the times that we did get a chance to be with the family.

I talk to Grandma and she said that she was thankful for you to drive her to her appointments. I am sure you do more than that to help her. I am proud of you for stepping up to help take care of Grandma. She loves you very much.

I hope that you do read this and know that, you did your best to teach me and care for me. Thank you for the times you were in my life. I do hope one day to reconnect. Know that you are a good dad.

Love: your daughter Aulyvia Williams

Stay Shining
