Dear PapaBear,
I love and miss you very much. There’s not a day that goes by that you don’t pop up in my mind. I wish you were out here to spend this day with me and Pricilla. I can’t wait for you to be out here again and for us to try to make up for the past 13 years you haven’t been with us. I want to be able to tell my friends and family about the awesome memories we make together. I can’t wait for that day. No one can ever take your place, I promise.
I am hurt that you are in there and hurt by how much your being in prison has affected me. I can still say I wouldn’t replace you for anyone. You’re an OG, lol. Okay. But I miss you.
My favorite memory with you are the times we visited you and Pricilla and I would hide from you. We would trick you that we hadn’t come to the visit. Then, when you finally saw we were there, you had the biggest smile on your face. That smile is the reason I haven’t given up on you. It warms my heart how much love you have for me. I love the fact that you are proud of the news I gave you the last time we talked on the phone, when I told you that I will going to Washington D.C. to talk about POPS the club, the club I am in, and to talk about what people can do for the children of prisoners. I’m so excited, and I’m doing it for you.
Well I’m going to close it up here, Daddy. I love and miss you very much. I hope to find you in great health and to hear from you soon. Take care of yourself.
Your one and only Babygirl,
Jessica Monique De La Mora
