I've known my entire life that we always play by the rules, don't get me wrong, I often avoided those rules. I know them though.

Most of my adult life, I've faced up to what I needed to, I have handled it. I played by the rules.
Mainly because I believe in Karma, or God or whatever you need to call it.

Loyalty stands strong with me, I'm going to stand for those people who have always been a part of my life, I'm going to be there and I'm going to defend them and be on their side, because that's why we became friends and why we still remain that.

I love these people....no blood, I do honestly love them and I feel their pain because I love their family. Because we've been family most of our lives, I mean the better part of our lives.

As we go about our day you can bet that we will all be together in the end, you can't bully us, you can't control us, we have a reunion of many years strong.

In your lifetime you probably won't have what we have, we can't be defeated and we can't be shamed so please stop trying and go about your miserable life,

Please know that you aren't just dealing with a family, but an army of many years that will surpass what you think you have.

A Long Journey

Tonight, my baby girl shall start a long, hard journey. One that has stolen dreams from her, stolen her peaceful moments and her self acceptance for far too long.
It will be one of her best journeys and will complete who she was meant to be, but first it's going to beat her up. The Devil will come in and tell her that she can't do it and they'll be days that she will believe him, that she'll be tired to even try anymore or just not want to or feel the need to. But God will be there for I will be praying deligently that he stays strong with her and between him and I, we will be fighting the devil for her. For that pain that I know will come, my heart aches to my very soul.

The tears Ive cried and/or fought for most of the day will most likely continue, as I hurt with her and for her during this time. Shes a tough one, since the day she was born, she's been a fighter and I know that that spirit has never changed. I know that she has this and will conquer it to the max.

I'm sorry that this is where we are at, but I really couldn't be more proud of her steps and her boldness and determination for herself and her freedom.

I will be counting the days to the happy ending to this as I know she will. Keep your head up and that beautiful smile on your face sweet girl. I'll be here in spirit everyday cheering you on. I love you to the moon!
