I am writing in memory of my father Julian Nervaez. I am the daughter you never know you had. I was 3 when you passed. I found out through searching and DNA. Donna was my mother. Both have passed. I look like you and your other daughters. Even though you never knew me, I can feel and see the connection between us. You would be proud of me. I have a great life and your passion for social justice! Rest in peace my brave bio father. I wish I could have met you. But I rest assured I will see you when I get there! I wrote this to honor you and I hope that family will understand that I'm grieving over you and wish I knew more about you!

Respectfully,
