Michelle's thoughts on my search for her father

My name is Patrick. During the last two years, I have tried to help Michelle search for her father. We wrote letters and called various numbers. We contacted the military, the immigration department, and even President Bush. I wanted everyone to see her thoughts on the subject. She is frustrated and very sad. Michelle use to be my girlfriend. Unfortunately, not knowing her father made the relationship very difficult.

Debbie King sent a letter to Michelle. And I received it today.

I just wanted to share Michelle's thoughts on not being able to find her real father.

"I thank you for making an effort to help me try and search for my real father Patrick, but it's pointless. That's the last thing on my mind right now. It's a little too late. Maybe it was never meant to be for me to reunite with my father. I wish he was there when I was growing up to care and protect me, but, unfortunately, it just wasn't meant to be. I would like to close that chapter in my life and move on." 04/14/03 in email

"I don't know why you even tried. It is none of your concern. It is not your place to post my information so the whole world can see. I am not too proud of not knowing who my father is. Can you please understand that Patrick? Can you please just STOP? It is something special and I'd like to keep it to myself and just leave it at that. Besides, if you did find him I wouldn't think he would be too proud of his biological daughter right now. I take back everyting I ever told you about my personal life and please just leave it alone." 04/14/03 in email

"I hope that you will respect my wishes. You don't understand how much I want to forget about my past. I want to forget everyting that happened since the day I was borned. Especially about you and I. I just want to go to bed tonight and wake up with all my memories erased. I don't want to remember anything. It's been a nightmare. I just want to turn my life over to God. Let's let God decide my fate with my father." 04/14/03 in email

I emailed President Bush tonight. I hope someone on his staff can help this girl.
