If I could talk to my daughter, I would tell her that I love her dearly and miss her more than words can say. I'm always thinking about her, and I love her and I hope she had a great Holiday Season.

I'm so very sorry to her that I'm not there for her. I would hope that she please knew I'm doing everything in my power to get myself to where I can be in her life again, as soon as I possibly can. In the meantime, I would tell her to hang in there.

I know high school isn't always easy, and isn't always fun, but I would tell her to try not to let it get to her. The bad or tough stuff is something we all face during high school. I would remind her that a very very smart 7 year old little girl told me once, when I asked her how she handles the tough stuff, she told me "Ah, I just don't think about it." Then, when I asked her how she got so strong, she though for a moment and said "We're doing pull-ups in gym class!" That was a very wise little girl. Now she's an extremely smart, very beautiful young woman who can do and achieve anything her heart desires.

I would tell her to keep up the good work, remember to say her prayers and even if others around her are sour, to not let them affect her sweet spirit. If I could, I would tell her to "Hang in there Sweetheart, it will all be ok. Please always remember your dad loves you very much, and always will." And as long as she'll let me, I'll be coming to be in her life again someday soon and all my effort will be to make right all in her life I've caused to be wrong.

I would tell her "I love you forever, Your Dad"
