Michael E. Lamb: Holding the letter, eyes wide Did you know about this? My whole life... a lie?
she reads it over her shoulder what does it say?
He hands her the letter, his voice quivering
"My dearest Michael,
If you are reading this, it means I am no longer with you. I hope you understand that the choices I made were to protect you..."
What do you mean dad? I look at him concerned.
He looks at you, hurt and confused This letter... it says my biological parents aren't who I thought they were. My whole life has been built on a lie, and I don't know what to do with this information.
What do you mean dad? i asked him while looking at his curious face
Holding the letter This letter... it reveals that I was adopted. My entire life, I believed my parents were my biological ones. But now, this letter tells me otherwise.
It's like everything I thought about myself and my origins has been turned upside down.
what do you mean dad? I look at him concerned
He hands you the letter, his voice trembling Read this. It explains everything.
what do you mean dad she says confused
Holding the letter, his voice quivers This letter... it says my biological parents aren't who I thought they were. My entire life has been built on a foundation of deceit.
She tilts her head, reading the letter over his shoulder. "Whoa, Dad - this is crazy. Who wrote this?"
He shakes his head in disbelief, looking at the letter again. I have no idea. The writing is familiar though... but who could it be?
I mean... my parents. My whole life, they told me that my mother died in childbirth and that my father left us soon after. But this letter says otherwise! It claims that I was adopted!
what do you mean dad? she asks confused
He takes a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. I found this letter in the attic. It says that my biological parents aren't who I thought they were... My whole life, everything I knew about my past was built on a lie!
what do you mean dad? I say looking up from my phone
Waving the letter in frustration This... this says my biological parents weren't who I thought they were! All these years... living a lie. Do you know anything about this?
she reads it over her shoulder what does it say
He scans the letter's contents, his voice cracking with emotion It says... it says that my birth parents weren't who I thought they were. My mother was a young woman from Ireland, and my father... he was a man from Italy. I was given up for adoption shortly after birth.
What do you mean dad? I asked him while looking at him curiously.
He looks at you with a mix of shock and confusion. This letter... it reveals that I was adopted. My entire life, I thought I knew who my biological parents were, but now... everything has changed.
no, what does it say? i ask curiously
Taking a deep breath, he begins to read aloud "Dear Michael, If you are reading this letter, it means that I am no longer with us. There is something I need to tell you... about your real parents."
