Dear Brigitte,
 
I hope this letter finds you in good health and excellent spirits.
 
It has been a monumental effort.
 
Over the past four and a half years I have worked tirelessly to secure your safety, happiness and well-being to realise the dream of a baby we shared the first time I spoke with you a few days before New Years Eve 2003.
 
Your health was perilous when I met you.
 
Through Goose, Weasel and Oaf, I remained faithful by your side. 
 
You are my daughter.
 
Congratulations.
 
gods bless.
 
Dad philip
