It bears repeating, and it is the sentiment which set me free to be the woman I am today: a passionate mother who guards her children’s innocence with her soul, if need be.

I would wrestle an archangel for the life of my child, and the thing is, it took me so long to see no one was trying to take her from me. It was Tony’s voice in my head. He knew how to play on my guilt, my most vulnerable place and he makes parents feel guilty for desiring to do what they were created to do: Ensure the survival of their offspring. It is so simple, so obvious, and he ripped it away from my parents and tried to rip it away from me.

So many times, in my head, I told him to go to **ll. He’s there now. Today, it is up to parents to fight the dragons within and love their children…if they don’t, others will rise up in their stead…
Isn’t there a verse about God using a stone? For the little children who are in foster care, I think of you often; I love you and hope you are happy and safe. God hears your prayers and you don’t have to suffer. Pray for your parents that they will see your strength.

With Love
