I was hoping to connect, after all these years
Wishing somehow to subside both of our tears
Though in truth, I never expected you as you are
I must say we both in different ways, have come so far

With very little words, you've entered my heart in a special way
To think it all got started just like any other ordinary day
You many not have money, or think a lot to offer me
However you were able to do the impossible, set my heart free

The demons are gone, and I'm no longer scared of the night
In fact if I'm not mistaken that seems to be sunshine appearing in sight
It's true that time can help wounds, both old and new
I am finding both a friend and a Dad in you

Things are still tender, and it's going to take time to develop this right
I just want you to know I'm willing to fight
And though you may be my Dad in blood, I have you in my veins
When it comes down to it though, you've shown your love, and to me it's just the same

Amy,

though things were a bit different between my family and yours, this shows what a true heart you have and how loving you are....I am trying to forgive my dad for what he did, and the impact it has left me with....I have to admit, that's easier because he is no longer of this earth....yet, I still struggle to place the flowers at his grave, and have them mean something.....


hugssss love peace, to you....

This morning there’s a calm I can’t explain
By the time I recognize this moment it will be gone,  
I will bend light pretending it lingers on

Lauren,

hugs to you sweetie...as always your
words give me both inspiration and hope.
what I'm doing is by no means easy, but
for me the right thing...what will lead
me to the best closure and perhaps a
relationship beyond even my dreams...we
shall see, but I'm willing to try and so
is he, and things are coming along better
than well, I ever expected
thanks for responding, your words always
bring a smile to my face.

Hugs,
Amy
