My Dear Daughters: Introduction

 Why am I writing this? I'm wanting to offer some fatherly counsel to my daughters. I'm fully aware that I have little right to do as as an absentee dad, but for me to share something is surely better than to offer nothing.

Why 'My Dear Daughters'? This title, I appreciate, feels disingenuous when I'm not there for you. If you were more dear to me, we wouldn't be apart. It feels like I've disqualified myself from describing you as my daughters.

However bad I've been as a dad, you've done nothing to disqualify yourselves as my daughters. I hope you don't disown me as I deserve, but are willing to hear me out.

So, however hypocritical it may sound, you are my dear daughters, and I long for forgiveness and reconciliation. In the meantime, this writing will have to suffice. May it encourage you and help you in your lives, until we meet again.
