To you..

It has been 4, almost 5, years since that night..the night that changed my life. I was so young, still a child..seeing the world as most children do. Simple, with little problems. But, after what YOU did, I KNEW that wasn't the case. 

For so long I lived in constant fear...scared of every turn I made. I was scared you were there..ready to hurt me again. After you were found? That did not change. 

But, finally...I WAS able to move on. I WAS able to close my eyes & feel safe. 

I have moved on. You no longer have a hold on me. You can no longer hurt me. 

And now? I can look in the mirror every day and tell myself that I AM strong..AND beautiful. I can tell myself that I won't allow my past to define who I am...and that the pain from my past does only one thing: It makes me strong.

    I am so proud of her!! She walked right past him..within inches of him. She went up & sat at that microphone..and read this right to his ugly monster face with all the powerful strength within her It took everything n Michael (her Daddy) and I not to climb the lil wooden wall between the inmates and court "audience"..to easily take his life. Ironically, we had both separately made arrangements w other family members on what to do should one, or both, of us go to jail today for murder. Michael and I took her. We dont talk much, he and I. But, for the important things like this..we tend to unite w ease. It was breathtaking.. realizing how strong of a woman my daughter has become. 😍😍
