My dearest Allegra,

I wish I didn't have to do this. You were my joy and the light in my life for these past years. I didn't think I could raise you, but you made it easy somehow. But I can't be with you anymore.

It hurts me more than you will ever realize to leave you like this, today of all days. I tried to find a way for us to stay together, but we can't. And for that, I'm sorry. I am so, so sorry, sweetheart.

You're a tough kid, so I know you'll find your way. Remember everything I taught you, and you'll be just fine. And no matter how far apart we are, I promise that I will protect you if I can.

Angels are watching over you, sweetheart. Believe in them, and they will always be near.

I love you, kiddo.

Dad.
