Good Advice….
by Stacey on Jan.17, 2012, under Thoughts and Feelings
Hi baby!
I was talking to someone at work today that I have become very close to in the almost 1 month that I have been there and she had some very wise words for me. I am going to take what she said and carry it with me from here on out. I am going to live to honor you and your name, and make sure that your sisters and your brother are happy. No longer will I allow someone who means nothing to me have any power over me to make me angry. As far as I am concerned, anyone that was in your life that was on that side of the world is dead to me, including someone right here in town. I realize that what I am doing is right and everything that is being done on that side is wrong. What kind of a person honors you and wants to help others by posting legal documentation that happened almost 5 years ago. Big Deal!! I have never claimed that I did not give up parental rights to you. Once again…something that I did to make you happy. That is what you wanted, and as much as it broke my heart, I did it for you. Not for anyone else.
Regardless of what anyone says, I am the best mother I know how to be. I try my best to make all of my girls happy. I no longer allow negative, toxic people in my life nor do I allow people that mean nothing to me to get under my skin. You and your sisters are my reason for living, and I will continue to do the things that I do to make sure that one day families will not have to feel the pain that our family is going through on a daily basis.
My promise to you is to think 1 happy thought everyday. I will take a moment to send you a message and to pray for those that need it. In the end, there is only 1 person that we all have to answer to, and I will be able to answer to Him with a clear conscience.
I am going to post a daily quote from a book that I have that has truly helped me in some of my dark moments.
