Happy Birthday Byron Alexander

Happy 19th birthday. I would say that it seems like yesterday that you were born, but that would not be true. The last 13 years have been torturous and never-ending. 

Your mother chose another man over me. You're old enough now to know the truth. I just hope that the womanizing coward, that was married and cheated on his wife with a seventeen-year-old and your mother at the same time, has treated you well. My hands were tied. I have never stopped thinking of you or loving you. That is why I stayed away. One day you will understand. Take care of yourself and avoid self-destructive habits. I know your mother and her lover are alcoholics just like her parents are or were. I know she and her lover are both Pill Poppers. That is one reason she pushed me away. Because I condemned the actions.

I still have copies of all of her letters and journals to prove everything I have said. Even the courts said they knew that I was not the bad person in this, but their hands were tied.
