You were once my adopted daughter, I even went so far as to claim you as
my own though there are no blood relations. If I had known then what I
know now I would never have done that.

To the world at large: Ann is NOT of my blood, nor my kin. In my blind
kindness I adopted her and gave her my name because I missed having
children around. I have never, and will never be unfaithful to my wife.
And those of you who know me know this is true.

To Ann: What I have done was wrong. Know this, I have no blood ties to
you. Live your life as you see fit and I wish you all the happiness you
can find.

To my wife, Missi: I love you with all that I am. I have always been
faithful to you, and will never stray so long as I live. I love you with
more passion, respect, caring, adoration than I've ever felt for anyone.
You are the part that makes me feel whole, and I never want to lose you,
on any plane of existence.

Everything I stand for can be summed up in one word: Hope. All my life
there has been pain, struggle, and strife. I have grown and survived,
adapted and become a better person. All because I have never given up
hope. No matter how dark the days seem, no matter how stormy the weather
gets I know you will always be there for me. There is nothing I would
not do for you, you have but to ask, and I will do everything I can to
see it happen. My faith in you never waivers, my adoration of you never
wanes. You are my sunshine, my moonlight, and the shade of my heart. I
love you Missi.
