Dear Mommy,

I have decided I want to live with Dad.  I realize the
court says you have custody of me and the only reason is
*aniniosity."   I want the freedom in life to choose what I
think is best for me.   I don't like the very negative
policies of scientology as this causes animosity.  Dad is
a good loving responsible father.  He is not an"SP"!
Just as you are a good and loving mother.

I love you, Julie, and Dad more than anything and always
will.   Please realize the Judge is a friend of Mimi,
Grandaddy, and Aunt Ellen and should not decide for me or
Dad.   Please work this out with Dad and not in court.
Julie can speak for herself.

I can visit you a lot.  I am not afraid to fly alone.
Please don't be hurt by this decision.

I will always love you.

Beau
