Dear Sydnie and Cadence,

Merry Christmas. As the holiday season wraps its peaceful, festive air around us, I am reaching out with a heart full of hope and change. This year has been one of profound transformation for me, driven by a deep commitment to therapy and intense treatment for my bipolar disorder. These experiences have not only reshaped my understanding of myself but also how I view our past and the future I hope we can share.

I miss you both immensely. The laughter, the shared moments, and even the simplest conversations are memories I cherish deeply. My journey through therapy has opened my eyes to the importance of peace, understanding, and the gentle art of mending what was once broken.

This Christmas, my wish is not just for joy and happiness for you both, but for a future where we can reconnect, not as the people we were, but as the people we have become. I respect the space and time you may need, and I patiently await the day we can come together, learning from the past and building a future based on mutual understanding and renewed love.

With all my heart,

Dad
