Message from Dad

Hi Kaira. I love you so much!

I cannot wait to see you again. Remember the day I found you at your school in Okinawa? I have been looking for you ever since but have not been able to find you again. I do not know where to look anymore. I miss you so much. I think about you every day, all the time.

If you're reading this it means you have found me. Please contact me as soon as you can by telephone, email, or regular mail using the information on this page. I cannot wait to hear from you. I love you so much Kaira. You're my big boog. I will do anything to see you again.

Your grandpa and grandma and Rowdy boy miss you so much too. And so do all your friends from Littlefork School, like Mrs. Paul and Sue and Teri and Kaylin, Rylan, Taylor, Shainey, Quinton, Agim, Sam, Evan and everyone else. They all ask about you whenever I see them.

I love you Kaira.

Daddy

Message for Ritsuko:

Please contact me. I miss Kaira so much.  Please forgive me for everything I have done wrong over the years.
I forgive you.

All I want is for both of us to be able to see Kaira on a regular basis. You know this is true. Look into your heart. Please.

We can find a way to both see Kaira if you will contact me. Please do it for Kaira if you won't do it for me. You know how much she needs and loves her daddy.

Please, please, please contact me.
