** This website is intended solely for Lauren McKenah Treece.
Hello, baby girl, it’s been a very, very long time. I don’t know what you’ve been told about me over the years or what your expectations of me are, and I doubt you remember me at all, but I certainly remember you.
No matter what you’ve heard about me or about why I’m not around, I want you to know that I want you, that I love you dearly, and that I think about you every day since I last saw you, on May 4, 2009. If anybody has ever tried to make you think any different, I’m sorry you had to go through that.
I’m sorry for all of this. No one should be forced to not know both of their parents; I went through it growing up and never wanted that for you. The choices I was left with were extreme and mostly not legal, which put me in a tight spot. What I wanted – which was to be with and know you – became increasingly more difficult with each day, and I’ve had no one to turn to for help.
The reason I put this site up is so that you can know I’m here for you. I’m always here for you. And I don’t have any other legal and ethical way of contacting you.
Here are a few things about me to get started:
- I have no other kids
- I’m married to a wonderful woman
- I run a sports website that I started the day after your 3rd birthday
- I ride a motorcycle
- I have pictures of you up all over my home
If you scroll all the way up you’ll see a link for the Contact page. Go there to send me a message any time you like. There’s so much I want to know about you, but I want you to know that you can ask me anything and I will answer truthfully.
I don’t really know what comes next or exactly how to get there, but I know it starts with a simple, “hello.” We’ll figure out the rest from there.
I love you. Be well.
