"I love people who have been through adversity and heartache and obstacles as impossible as the sun itself. They usually make it out with hearts as warm as gold. Cores made of fire. Lives soaked with full intention. Hope like another morning. They know how to start again- how to walk through walls with palms wide open, and how to begin at the edge, and end. Those to me, are the best people." ~Victoria Erickson

Forgiveness
My father in law have talked things out and I have apologized for insulting him in such a public forum. The discussion went both ways. Most importantly we talked openly and completely. He honored my communication style of non-superficial conversation. He was gracious and I was thankful. He hugged me and told me that he loved me for the first time ever and it was probably the most important event to me as a member of this family since my marriage because I felt I was heard for the first time in 10 years of knowing the Anderson's. I apologize to those of you who were informed of my blog second hand and hopefully will also be informed of this apology entry as well in order to be equally fair. Please understand that we have all said and done things inappropriate or hurtful in our lives and please do not hold this mistake against me as I was defending my family in my heart of all hearts.
