And the sorrow, always there, always in the back of your throat, never quite goes away.<br /><br />One of the beautiful things about my horrible past has been teaching and loving my kids. Nearly as wonderful has been helping shape their dad via my own experiences.

So many of us have our chevy or our snow bank, the painful flat of our backs that bring us back to ache and loss and fear. <br /><br />What amazes me about you, my darling friend, is what you have done not just with these words and this memory, but with your life. <br /><br />I have seen your family. I have seen you in action. And...I am awed. You are one of the most powerful women and you are so quiet in this power. You don't even know. <br /><br />As for your daughter, my daughter, our daughters will face so many challenges and it does keep me up at night like you. But, they have us. L, sweetie, everything we do now is setting the stage for them to become strong, beautiful, woman. <br /><br />I love you.

There isn't an adult alive today who hasn't made judgment calls in their past that weren't the best. Sometimes we escape unscathed. Sometimes, not. I'm sorry you had such an experience... When I think of all of the women I know who have been through similar situations, it sickens me. Not only for my daughter, but that those men/boys were someone else's baby boy. How do we prevent our SONS from becoming part of that cycle?tracey.becker1@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606831315390042198noreply@blogger.com
