Dear little girl, Who knew that at 18 you would move out of your mothers house on the East Side of Detroit and not go back? Who knew you would go to one of the most prestigious Universities in Michigan on a full ride scholarship and not finish? Did you ever think you would enlist for 8yrs in the Navy? Bet, at no point did you think you would be a single parent to not one ...but three children? I know you NEVER thought you would be divorced. In this picture, you had no idea your mother would marry an abusive alcoholic and have a son. Or that she would develop MS and make you always wonder if that was the reason she was abusive throughout your childhood. I am sorry about the decisions that I have made that caused you heartbreak And also that I moved you to a place where you have no family. On a positive note, you become stronger and wiser with every trauma you have been through Your life journey will provide a testimony that will help someone else. Love will find you when you are ready. Keep being yourself and the right people will come and stay in your life. Your long time friends will become family. You will find yourself and your passion at 40 and be adament about what works for you and demanding respect Your children will love you and for them..just having you will be enough You will overcome most of your fears And your faith will be shaken, stay fractured for awhile..but come back stronger than ever You are resilient and accountable for all your actions You will be proud of who you have become Signed, Your 40yr old self P.S. When you meet a dude named Bear in high school..cherish every moment and take lots of pictures!
