HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY to my daughter KEIRA J PRIOR

Tomorrow is your birthday, and you are turning 12! What an exciting time and a scary time to not have your mom. I hope mine is doing a good job of taking care of you. I sure wish she would let us see each other. I want you to know I have never stopped trying. If you have been told that no one knows where I am and no one has heard from me, it's time you knew that particular lie is a family tradition. Pushing people away, nurturing hate, and judgement, are all traditions in our family. It's important to be aware of that, because we can still change. I know I will never stop fighting for you and I get excited on your birthday! I used to cry and cry. Now I know that each year you get closer to getting online and finding out that I have always been out here and have always wanted and loved you and your sister Griffin. My information has not changed. You call me anytime, and I will move mountains for you. That is a promise! 360-589-3381 danablogsit@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/AlaskanDana Instagram: AlaskanDana

It's been too long since I have updated this blog, but I am thinking about you girls constantly. You are never far from my mind and always in my prayers. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried to reach your grandma Deborah and grandpa Lyle again. I do that from time to time, to see if God has been able to reach them and help them yet. He will someday. I didn't get an answer but Lyle did accidentally text me a message meant for your grandma. It sounds like you guys are having a hard time. They had a lot of trouble loving and raising me too and I always thought something was wrong with me. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH YOU. I PROMISE. A child who was different was just not what they signed up for. I know you will make it through the criticism and come out OK. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ School is out now. I wonder what you girls are doing for the summer. It looks like Mom is redoing my childhood and hoping plays out better this time. I hope it does this time. Most of all I hope you are happy and I hope you are brave and strong and kind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ You are 14 and 12 now. You can get on a computer or a phone and find me any minute. I hope this works. I've been working on it for a few years and keeping the home fires burning. As soon as I hear from you, if you want me to, I will get on a plane. Anyway, wanted to add some new pics and remind you of my contact: danablogsit@gmail.com 360-589-3381. (No one will know you're calling me. Its an odd number) My Instagram is AlaskanDana Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AlaskanDana I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! I know that seems like it can't be true, but love is bigger and more complex than you've seen so far. It can move mountains and it will for us.

Dana Blogs it, but does anyone see?

Hi Griffin and Keira. What can I mother say after all this time? I am having to watch my friend be phased out of her childrens' lives and there is nothing I can do. I can't say a thing. When you were taken from me, it was all based on lies. By the time I knew, I was already lost. We were lost to each other. I love you. Call me, when you find this. I can't do anything to get closer to you now: 360-589-3381 As time goes by, these get harder to post. I was locked out of this account for awhile, but still. You are not children anymore. God Bless You. Forgive me.

I am sorry it has been so long since I last posted

My intention was to post regularly, but then I would lose hope. My heart would hurt so badly that I would put it away and just hope to someday hear something from my girls. That hasn't happened. I know they are being carefully guarded by Deborah R Prior and Lyle Prior of Kansas City, Mo. At some point you will start to live a life outside of them and I hope you will find this blog. Chris and your brother Justice and sister Eden and I live in Washington State near the ocean and the snowy mountains. We love it here but miss you every single day and wish we could share it with you. Our family is happy and we serve God and love each other, but we will never be whole without you. I wanted to update my phone number. By the way, unless someone steals your children and you are absolutely desperate, never post your personal details online! Anyway, with that in mind, my number is now 360-589-3381. Never be scared to call or even text. My Facebook URL is: https://www.facebook.com/chrisndana2015 Just copy that into the white bar at the top of the browser. You can message me there. My Twitter page is: https://twitter.com/DanaKraftBarber Find me!! I will always be open to you. You will always have a home with me, full of love and safety.

Here is the rest of the family (YOUR family :-)

Here are some pictures of Justice, age 6, Eden AGE 3, AND Chris. Later I will post some photos of where we live. Before I do all of that, I had better get the Griffin and Keira Mommy loves you Facebook page. Hopefully you girls will be online soon. Love! Mom

Momma loves you every moment of every day and always will.

I want to start by leaving you ways to reach me. My phones are home: 360-875-8112 and Cell: 417-773-7760. My email is danablogsit@gmail.com My address is something that I will share with you when we speak. As I explain things to you, you will see why I am cautious and why I chose to live so far away. Griffin, You are a few days away from turning 11. I can barely remember what it was like to be that age, but I am excited! I know that parents feel like children grow up too fast, but in this situation I anxiously await the day that you are old enough to find the internet and in turn, your freedom, your mother, your brother Justice and sister Eden. There is a family out there who already love you and always will. Love, Momma Keira, The last time I saw you, you were a beautiful little girl. You barely knew me but I could see in your eyes that you did. I told you "I am your mommy and I love you". Do you remember? I can't wait to hug you and tell you all about your family. You and your sister take good care of each other and remember that all pain is temporary. We will see each other again and there will be nothing but love! Love, Mommy I am sure you have questions and feelings and things that you need to get out in the open. I look forward to answering every single one. I will limit what I post to this public blog for your privacy. This is the beginning of an attempt to get in contact with my beautiful daughters. If you know them, or know their grandmother Deborah Ritchie Prior, or Lyle Prior, please reach out to me! If you go to school with my kids or know them from church, please reach out to me! They probably attend private school in Kansas City, MO near Brookside. My mother is a pseudo-Presbyterian, so she and the family likely attend and donate generously to a Presbyterian Church in the city. I will be spreading this as far and wide as I can. I just hope this works! Love you girls so much and will never stop fighting for you! Here is a recent photo of me: Dana Kay Wyrick (Kraft)
