Letter from Joshua to his Sons

[Embry Call]

Dear sons,

I'm sorry I'm not here today as planned to meet you but with all we've discussed last night, I feel like I need some more time to process all I found out. I was very happy to see that even with all I put you both through, you have grown into two fine young men. I know I missed out on a lot in both your lives but it was for the better. I've never been much of a family man in the past but with me getting older, I feel like I should at least get to know the two of you better.

 

I'm not trying to take the place I should have taken long ago when I left, far from it. I just feel like I should probably ease into it rather than just going straight into meeting everyone so soon. I know that for you Sam, you'll have to prepare your wife and kids since I doubt they know about me as for the rest, I'd definitely feel more comfortable after absorbing all I found out this weekend. I didn't have many expectations other than meeting the two of you today, however, to find that I now have grand children along is a bit much to absorb at once and I definitely need some time to do so.

I hope you both will forgive me for this, I definitely want to keep in touch with the two of you. The numbers you have on the card will still be good to keep in touch. You can message me or call me any time you want, I'm definitely  not closing the door about the two of you and please tell your mothers I'm sorry about everything. I should have taken my responsibilities but I never felt like I was worthy of being a father twice with all I've done and I took the coward way out. I hope they will forgive me someday, and so will you.

Sincerely

 

your father

Joshua

Thanks bro, same here. The part of me that grew up without ever knowing my father hopes that this wasn't just a one time visit but given his track record, I'm not sure I want to get my heart broken that way by him...

I'm not sure where the relationship will go with our Father, but I want you to know I will always be here if you need me
