Keeping tabs

So, I couldn't help but try to keep track of my two lovely daughters, and I think I found you. True to trend, your mom talked Adam into moving closer to her parents.
Probably because she felt that was God's will. I don't know for positive, just simply speculating.
I don't have a current address for you yet, because I haven't dug that deeply. It will come in time.
I know your grandparents, your great grandmother Meema, and Casey and I think of you often and love you both very much. Brooklyn still asks about you, and she's only met you both briefly. I think she understands and wishes you were a greater part of our lives. My hope is that Meema is still alive to be able to see you both at least one last time before she passes away. I feel her concern and I know she prays about it daily.
I love you both, Autumn and Hannah. I'm looking forward to seeing you beautiful girls again. My heart aches for you daily and I pray for a Spirit of Reconciliation in all our lives.
Love, Dad

The First...and the hardest.

Here I currently sit on the couch, my head swirling with thoughts of you both. If you are reading this, most likely it is because several things have occurred.
First, you were curious about me and wanted to know what I was up to. You wanted to know where I was at, what I was doing, what I've done, and what I am like now. Your memories of me may have faded over time. Some things may stand out in your mind more than others.
Secondly, you have probably disobeyed your mom. From what I recall of your mother, she would have strictly forbidden you to have access to the Internet. I know how she is and how she thinks; she would consider the Internet to be inherently evil, that nothing good can come from the Internet.
So, there you are - in a library, at a friend's house, at the school, or maybe even at home - and you've found this via Google, or whatever search engine you found me through.
So, what was it that was SO important that I decided to start this blog and hope that you would find it so many years later? Why would I pin my hopes of contacting you on some obscure site out on the web that you possibly never would have found?
I had to tell you girls that I loved you. I have always loved you. I will always love you both.
For your sake, keep reading.
