In the beginning there is just discovery mixed with defiance.

No one can tell you what is right or wrong; that is yours to own.

There are tragedies that devastate, though they seem so puny 20/20.

The real tragedies are discovered by surprise much later, through your children.

Flashbacks of the pain you once inflicted on the ones that loved you unconditionally.

When do we make amends?

How do we erase the scars and repair the hurt?

It is never too late to cleanse old wounds.

Your efforts are never wasted when they are meant for healing and restoration.

Stand tall and fearless; prayer will light the way. 

Humility softens all scars regardless of the age.   

Wipe away the grime of callous selfishness.

Your example will clear the way for others and widen a path exponentially.

Follow truth; bear the burden of your own cross with honesty and conviction.
