Dear Shawn,
First let me say, congratulations on the birth of your daughter, and for your marriage. You have a beautiful family.
I am writing this letter after so long because after 23 years with the same phone number, I recently got a new one. In the past I have reached out to you when my address changed, but now, after so many years I just felt like I wasn't going to bother you by trying to contact you directly with this change of information. You clearly have no use for it.
Nevertheless, even now I feel a strong desire to be available to you should you change your mind and find you have something to say to me. I want to be available for that, and so I am writing this letter here so you will always have a way to contact me.
My father left my life when I was 6 years old and as an adult I sometimes wanted to speak with him, and looked for him on occasion, but never found him. As I got older I realized the stories, though few, that my mother had told me about him were not entirely true, and even the ones that probably were didn't seem to matter as much.
But I won't bore you further with the details of my life. You know I have had my troubles and that I am a poor example of what a father should be. I have been clean and sober now for 26 years, yet some of that man still remains at the core of me. He may never be truly gone.
I see that you are producing films. I see you on IMDB. I've seen the photos of your family. You have what appears to be a wonderful life. I understand you have no need of me in your life. The irony for me is, the stubbornness and strong opinions you hold that likely contribute to the distance between us are the very ways in which we are so much alike.
So, I am here. You can reach me at the phone number and address listed below.
My wife, Michele, who you met for a moment in McDonalds in Placerville sends her love to you and your family, as do I. We wish for you and your family nothing but happiness and good things.
Your father,
Kevin Peters
