I forgive you, Dad.

I get it now. Taking care of kids is hard, and it was too hard for you. You were young, and it was just too much.
I get it. I do.
I'm an adult now too, and well, it took a long time to understand why you did it. I'm not mad though.
But... I'm going to do the opposite of what you did. I'm going to find kids and make sure they're ok.
I love you. I forgive you, but you don't need to come home anymore.
-Colonel
