*~*
Sometimes when I read something
that reminds me of
the horrible
           thing  
of the past
I decide to write about it

But....
I can not figure out
if maybe it makes
me get more  
          depressed
For when I write about
those
      happenings
I get
     very
          sad
and the tears
                flow


I wish that I could write of only good memories
happy things in life
                    about my Love
                                and
                                   me
Of how happy and contented
        we are with each other
                and with our love

I know in my heart that there is nothing
I can do about what  he  did to my little girl
since he is gone      dead
But it still hurts me so bad
     because
she is still hurting after all these years
I wish I could help her.....
I wish I could take away
     all the hurt       all the pain
all the disappointments     and fears
all the heartaches
that she has had
     but      I      can't
Only God can do that for her

All the heartaches    hurts     bruises
pain
     that I have had
I don't think about
                   so much
BUT
   the things my child had to endure
         bearonmymind

Oh...if only I could put my arms around her
and remove all those horrible things
that even I don't know of fully
because
       she has never told me about all of
the darkness that breeded in the darkness of night
and of day
          when I was at work
                            or at Church

If only I could erase all those
     terrible ugly things
               from her mind
And replace them with good memories

Well we can do something, Ethel. We can stand tall and remain, or try to become loyal and not betray the ones we feel so sorry for, or cause them further shame.  That is a big start.

Then we can study up on this horrific crime and put them first, before our own feelings, and learn exactly what it is they might need...they being the victim of never having felt protected...good to start trying to protect them now...

having been a victim and knowing victims the best thing we can do is learn everything possible we can and even then some don't seem to understand the deep damage done.

That it takes years if not a lifetime to overcome.

Hugs, Pat

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Ethel, I send many angel healing hugs your way, sweet friend, no child should ever be left feeling this way and needs to be loved and though it saddens me to see this pain in her heart, I know the moment you marry Gary and she gets to know him much more every day she will love him too and accept him as her daddy and all her tears of sadness will be outnumbered by tears of joy! (wipes tears) You and your daughter are in my prayers, sweet friend, I have gotten to know other little boys and girls who have struggled and I always reach out to them too, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yanno... I just have no words...

But what I saw as I read this was a picture of motherhood more beautiful than any that will grace Hallmark's cards... the portrait of pain that you can't absorb the hurt yourself and make it go away for her... your hurting heart is pure love.

With a loving mom like you by her side, her journey to wellness and peace may be shorter and less painful. May God's Light show her the way.

Sending loving pink and healing green Light to you both.

As you all know, this subject is very deep in my heart and it hurts to write about. I really do appreciate all of you who take the time to attempt to encourage and to help me. And I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I know that when someone writes about hurtful things, it's hard to reply to. So, I know that each of you make a special effort to do so. I thank you all and love you all for that.

Heart hugs to you all

Ethel,

I owe you an apology, perhaps, should have commended you on being such a loving mother and left it there.  

Being a victim myself, I could not help but wonder the devastation your daughter might feel if reading this, another sense of betrayal.

These kind of crimes damage some forever and triggers, from out of nowhere can cause considerable more pain and confusion.

I understand your heart is in the right place and I apologize if I caused you pain.

You are a loving mother.

Hugs, Pat

For A Special Mom...

I was the little girl among the daisies
Picking petals and humming as I skipped
And I looked into his eyes with admiration
And trusted as the shell of me was gripped

I was the innocent among the lightning
Cowaring in corners, frantic in the storm
And I looked into his eyes in such bewilder
And in passage held the thoughts that kept me warm

I was the victim once of careless blinding
Aching to be freed but never taught
And I looked into His eyes to find the answer
And faced the darkest fears that I had fought

Hugs Ethel
TD

Pat, until you wrote the last reply, I had no idea you were being sarcastic to me in your first reply. Maybe I'm dense and naive or just plain trusting like my daughter is.

Whatever, Pat, everyone is entitled to their own opinions and you are certainly entitled to yours. Thank you for your apology, by the way. I appreciate it.

Oh, and just one more thing, I would never do anything whatsoever to cause my daughter more pain intentionally. When I say I would take all the pain for her, that's what I mean.

Charisma, honestly, I didn't intend to make anyone feel bad or cry. I'm sorry.
I do thank you, though, for having compassion for us. I really appreciate it.
