Subject: Your Choice
Peter,
Now you have the full story, as I understand it. I wish that I had shared this with you earlier, but I could never quite find the right time or the right way to bring it up, let alone the strength to get through it. I’m sorry that I’m not there to walk you through this, to help you, but I’m also glad that I’m not there to stop you if you want to do it.
Before he made that choice your biological father was a good man. I hope he still is.
As far as I know, he does not know therestime.com shared the message with me, and he’s still planning to meet you. Twenty years is a long time, though. Even if he intends to meet you, you might find yourself waiting alone on that corner.
Above all else remember that I love you and nothing but death could take me from you.
The choice is yours.
Love Always,
Mom
