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.
