Between Jan. 1 and Jan. 18, I sent Anthony 2 letters.
The third letter is dated today, Jan. 19. Same type of letter, what’s going on with his daughter, health, education, welfare, life lessons she’s learning about trading things.
I also added something to this letter. I let him know that I “had sent a generic letter to his sisters along with pictures of Sarah”. I wrote that sentence adding, “and the only one so far to refuse and return to sender” was M. (his youngest sister). How sad that after all this time, M STILL feels such animosity towards me for whatever her reasons are. I have no clue why but it is not my problem, glad to say, but as always, that is her choice and decision and one that she will have to live with. As I have said before, just because one wants to BELIEVE that Sarah is NOT a R (Anthony’s last name) does not make it so. The funny part of it is that M opened up the letter and saw who it was from and she closed it up again and sent it off to me! I could tell she opened it up because of the type of envelope I used. Oh well, whatever. Sarah will eventually be told about her parentage and Aunts and her sister and brother at the appropriate time and by me, and it will be her decision as she gets older, as to whether she wants any contact with them. Sarah is a very “family oriented” person, but she is interested in keeping in contact with her family and I am happy about that. It is going to be a very difficult time for her when she learns about you and the rest of your family, and even more difficult for her to take it upon herself to want to make contact with someone from your side of the family and not be accepted. She is an innocent person in all this, Anthony, and I really hope that if the day comes when she writes you a letter or something, that AT LEAST you will be decent enough to acknowledge her, and be open to what she has to say and answer any questions she may have.”
