 Webshots Photo *~* 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 *~* [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-04-2003 10:33 PM).] |

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  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

 (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 Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

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. Linda |

Marge Pat QjQ Noah Suthern Linda Eric . . . 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 |

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 ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

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. |
