It's very sad, but just trust and obey God for there's no better way!Remember, He can do all things in His own good time, Asa!

COMING TO TERMS WITH THE RESPONSBILITY OF YOUR ACTIONS...FACING THE FULL 'BLUNT' OF REALITY. NOT AT ALL EASY TO DO. THANKS FOR THIS 'NAKEDNESS'. I LOVE YOU. BLESSINGS AND FAITH...
JOYCE(MOM)*HIS INSPIRATIONS

Asa,

Through your pain and honest writing will come a greater sense of awareness and strength to prepare you for the precious times when you will see your daughter again.

Joyce, this has left me with a lump in my throat. Honest, no punches pulled...

So sad. Life can be hard and cruel at times! Does Asa WRITE TO HIS DAUGHTER OR TRY TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH HER MOTHER? Perhaps he can keep a journal of his feeings, write poems and letters to include in it. One day he'll be able to see her and be with her again.. He can show his daughter then, that he never forgot her!....M

Concise, raw and perfect!

These few words explode with heartfelt and pain... healing begins with acknowledgement and it is never too late! Blessings! JBS

The pain is moving.

..it is never too late...we can be the cause to change what will be....never give up on her or yourself!

"I CRIED" YES I cried when I read this, and then turned away, hoping not to see it again. Joyce you just would not give up, your e-mail really touched my heart and I cried again! This poem brings back memories of my sister's son her only child who was incarcerated as a teenager with a sentence of 45 years. He has a son and it seemed that they would not know each other, he had never seen his son. There is good news prayer changes things, my nephew is now free and has since been united with his son! You may cry now but your morning is coming, and yes your daughter will know and always love you. Joyce continue to stay strong in the Lord, and keep your armor on, I just love the person that you are! There is hope!

This is a very heartfelt poem, thanks for sharing!

Love And Prayers
Always!!

... and at least two women grieve... THIS IS HEARTSTOPPING, JOYCE! I am so sorry for all of your combined pain and sense of tragedy. It is true that grief wields a mighty pain. This is right between the eyes and, as others have said, raw. But powerful good writing. Your son is a sensitive man. May his sense of guilt be assuaged and healed with reconciliation. Love and prayers, Kate xx

raw and sad, encourage your son to write more.

...and the sins of the father...
Very strong!

So sad Joyce, may the Lord guide your son to a better life. May God bless you every day of your life.

Daniel

Yes, sad indeed, Joyce.

John

Very sad.

Taking ownership is the first step. And it is a big one. I hope your son is released soon and can be reunited with your daughter. Patrick

Sad......
