He worked long hours as an electrical lineman, often in dangerous conditions, just to support them. He secretly placed her parents’ life insurance money into a trust fund so the state would not take it. He even sold his house and saved enough money so Hannah could live independently in the future.

At the end of the letter, he asked Hannah for forgiveness—not for his own peace, but so she would not carry the burden of his mistake for the rest of her life.
