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.
