The past is the past.. Even though it maybe hard for you to overcome it’s time for you to get over it.. That was over 20 yrs ago.

I wasn’t the best person. But when you did come to stay with me. You needed nothing and you were taken care of. But, you went back because your grandma spoiled you.

Dan treats you like one of his own. Even though you weren’t his blood and you call him my husband.. Yes he is and will still be and has been for the last 24 yrs here next week. But you don’t acknowledge him as your dad.

He picked you up when you were down. He bought you train tickets and bus tickets to help you out. You even conned one of his best buds to pay for your ticket down to be with us. Then you hooked up with George and his son. Which had red flags but I forgave both of you. He even drove to get you and helped out when you were heart broken. We sat and talked with you and gave you our home to stay in and keep warm.

When you asked me to become Bo’s guardian. Dan and I prayed and realized God had other things on our hearts and that wasn’t the right things and that I needed to tell the truth to the state and DCFS about my past and I knew that it wasn’t right that he needed to be with his people and people that could care for him.

When you were done with George you moved in with us in Freeport and Dan and I took you in with open arms and even feed and clothed you for awhile til you got tired and went back to Grandma’s which we bought your ticket for.

When you had a fight with Andy who came down to get you and brought you back to our place for you to decide your next step and that we were there to support you. That was us.

When you became pregnant and asked for prayer we prayed. Infact our whole church prayed for you. When Ingrid was born we prayed for you. When we came up last summer we were excited for you both and prayed then at Christmas you came over and we wanted to spend time with all of you and then on my birthday you dropped a bomb and said that you didn’t want us around your child. When all we did was pray and see if she was ok.

Now she is one and you bring crap from over 20 yrs ago.. Know this my child we still love you and continue to pray for you. To be totally honest we were praying this am at church that healing would begin and then you send me that text message like you did and it hurt.

But I keep hearing Jesus saying Forgive her and continue to forgive her because she is a child of mine even though she doesn’t see it.

So we will continue to pray and we know that one day you will see that I have changed and that the Love of the Father flows through me and that as I go to therapy and learn more about healing me that you will understand that your daughter has a Nanny and Pops that love her dearly.
