Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope your grief is subsiding, there will always be a place in your heart for her but it will get easier with time.
Besides, it's ok to be angry and hurt. The truth is - there is much to be angry and hurt about. The problem is getting stuck in it - you know - really stuck. And you don't know that this will happen.
She has people around her to listen to her anger and hurt - AND her joy. Don't forget that. She's a teenager. I'm certain that everyday she ALSO laughs, jokes with friends, maybe even she has interests in 'special friendships' ;-).
She is her own person - growing into a woman. She will have to navigate this journey herself - this is true whether you were outside to help her - or not.
Stay focused on what you can do - because if you do everything you can - that really is enough. Does that make sense? If you give someone EVERYTHING that you can - it is ENOUGH. It is complete. You are offering all that you have - it may not feel like enough - and it might not be all you want to give - but in life when we offer ALL that we have - it really is enough.
Just be there and wait. Offer what you can and be satisfied that you have offered all of your love.
I'm so sorry I haven't written to in a while.. Things have been crazy here... I have to say I miss those days back in computer class because life was so much more worry free... well here are a few more things that have happened since I've wrote..... I am now engaged to an amazing man who has 3 lil boys, he is also a tattoo artist so I am now addicted lol, I have 8 now and getting more... You're always in my prayers and thoughts Jesse...
Your words and the story of Josh are very inspiring. I write this on Ash Wednesday, and hope that you have the change in Lent to explore your faith and be inspired further.
I enjoyed your last two poems a lot - they have really striking imagery. I'm sorry you're feeling so abandoned currently. I hope that in the future your family realise that you are aware of what you have done wrong and make an attempt to reconcile with you.
