"Dear Father

  'It's been so long since I saw you. How are you doing? Well I hope. I personally am doing well and the family has been doing ok. Heh, can you believe it's been 11 years since you left? When I was younger I could never understand why. I was told for around a whole two years that you had to do something important but I could never find out what. Mom wouldn't give all the details. But recently, I now know you weren't the most law-abiding citizen in the world and that you had done some things that you and many of us aren't really proud of. For the longest time, I questioned if it was my fault that you had to go but it doesn't really matter now whose fault it is. We all pay for our mistakes eventually. But even though you may have done such terrible things, like selling contraband, armed robbery, and multiple scams, and that caused us to move to the next region over because so many people in our old town hated you and by extension, us for what you did, I still love you Dad. I now know you did all of that to put a roof over our heads and give us food to eat. You're a good man who just did things the wrong way. I just wanted to tell you that we are actually doing ok for ourselves. Mom had gotten a well-paying job as an attorney's secretary and our family, both on mom's side and yours had helped us more times than we can count. I've even been able to go to a good school and I'm graduating in 2 more months. I've been accepted to a good college and I even think I'm in the academic 10 percent. Eleven years... So much was missed... I hear you've been sentenced to 20 years but has since been dropped to 13 years due to your cooperation. I even hear you might get released even earlier. It was so brave of you to do that. You'll soon be out of jail in two years and when you do, I want you to know that no one hates you, we all love you and we all forgive you. Not your family, not mom and, not me. And you are always welcome to be here with us. We can help you as well. Don't worry, mom hasn't left you for someone else or gotten rid of your prized belongings. She still very much loves you and she'll welcome you with open arms, we all will. I think some of our family may have known about the things you did and maybe even helped but it's not really my place to speculate. Nor do I really care. I guess we all have our dark sides. Hehehe. All I know is that sometimes we have to do things to stay afloat. Hope to see you soon.'

- Sincerely your loving daughter, Jamie Trixe."

"But even though you may have done such terrible things, like selling contraband, armed robbery, and multiple scams." 

Well this is the general gist of what he may have done. 
It may not be all he had done and may hold many other crimes that didn't come to light. But I wanted to make him a criminal without making him a monster (So not a killer, human trafficker/kidnapper, sex offender, or the sort.), just a man who found himself in a hard situation and did what he could to stay afloat and help his family.

I also wanted to tell on a daughter and family who still loves the man unconditionally, will welcome him with open arms, is willing to help him get back on his feet, and support him.  

"I think some of our family may have known about the things you did and maybe even helped but it's not really my place to speculate. Nor do I really care." Also, I put in a hint that some members of the family knew and even helped him in his dealings. I even further hinted that he may have covered up the levels of involvement his family members may have had to keep them out of trouble. So, of course those guys would accept him, he saved them. The girl may also suspect some other members of her family may have done a few illegal things but she doesn't need to know nor does she really want to know so she can keep the image of her family being law-abiding citizens like her.

Danke. Scheint wohl mein Wohlergehen wiederzuspiegeln. XD
Tja.. das mit der Verbesserung... Es ist eher ein Eingriff in meiner "Technik"
Deswegen kanns passieren / oder passiert grad, dass es eher unperfekter aussieht als vorher. XDDD

Schön zu hören.  

Das es am Anfang einer Veränderung nicht so glatt ist, ist normal. ^^ Aber nur wenn man neues ausprobiert, wird man besser. ;D

Its quiet difficult to optain the old style and use new techniques.
In most cases there will be a transformation of the Style after a while, but the between...
is in most cases not perfect. Like this one here.
Thanx!
