Love Beyond Distance: Navigating Change as a Family

Dear Daughter,

I’m writing to you with a heavy heart. I was incredibly disappointed that we weren’t able to spend the weekend together as we had planned.

I was excited to pick you up on the 4th of July while visiting Northern Virginia. Unfortunately, I didn’t hear back from your texts about this. On the 5th, I tried again to see if I could pick you up early but still received no response.

With no answer from you, my fiancée offered to reach out. When she did, your mom’s response focused on her disapproval of her rather than our weekend plans. It hurt to see you join forces and dismiss my fiancée’s effort to connect with you.

She’s kind and intelligent, and I genuinely believe she could be a great role model. However, you chose a different path, refusing to visit because of her. I even visited your house to discuss things, but you wouldn’t come.

I understand that being a teenager is tough, and divorce can be challenging. We can’t control things in life, but through challenges, I try to remember the amazing things in the world and that everything happens for a reason. My faith strengthens me, and I know God will continue to provide.

My hope for you is that you can embrace your dreams, work hard, and trust in a higher power. Just know that no matter what, my love for you and my fiancée’s love for you will never waver. We believe you have the strength to overcome any obstacle.

With all my love,

Dad
