Only God can grow a Violet out of a pile of dirt.: Mommy,what is love?

To my Favorite daughter Raegan, whom I care about with all of my heart. Do you remember when you were the age of 12, you asked me “Momma ,What is Love?” And I could not answer it,but it's the question that started my journey to find the answer for the both of us. It is my hope that you will learn the true value of both love and forgiveness. In learning these, you will understand that love is not found in gratuitous sex, or in the lures that the world may promise you. But instead, true love is found in the arms of the Lord, in the eyes of a beautiful daughter, and with the ability to forgive those who in life may sometimes hurt you. In addition to those values, I want you to develop an understanding of the diagnoses of mental illness, and how those that are afflicted with this disease in an untreated state may sometimes behave. But are still worthy of love and forgiveness.
