I may not be there to celebrate and share these precious moments of your life with you, but my heart and my thoughts are always with you.
This birthday is to your dad different from all the previous ones, couple of days ago I visited a dear friend (Rahman) whose daughter is only a few month older than you. My vision of you my darling all these years remained as the same little girl as you were when I last saw you. That now have changed, you are no longer the little girl, but a young princess.
I was so glad when I realised how much you must have grown up, and at the same time so sad that I was not allowed to be a part of your life during the transition from childhood to adulthood.
I look forward to the day that you decide for yourself you want your dad to be part of your life again.
No matter how hard and for how long one tries to convince an eagle that she can not fly, eventually the day will come when the eagle comprehends that she is not destined to crawl on the earth and she shall embarks on the journey of life seeking to find the truth for herself.
The eagle will leave her cage and fly to the highest point in sky, then she will look down upon those who were trying to convince her she can not fly, and shall fly through the sky's in seek of the truth and her origins.
The eagle will persevere her search until she finds the truth for herself and then demands to know why the truth was kept from her for all these years.
Happy Birthday My Darling Atria, I can not even send you a card or a present, but can express my feelings for you.
Your father
