Forty three years ago today, my son, Charles Rand was born in the hospital at Fort Irwin California.

Charles, I have not seen you in forty one years I have no idea where you are or if you are even still alive.

I do want to wish you a Happy Birthday on this day. I hope and pray that you are having a good life. I wish I could have been part of it.

Charles, what happened between your mother and me had nothing to do with you. For information only, you have two wonderful half sisters.
A day doesn’t go by, that I don’t think of you.

Once again, Happy Birthday son.
