BoldGrace

A Letter of Love

 My daughter Mindy just sent us this e-mail and I just had to share it with the world.  The power of this BOLDGRACE is beyond words but my little Mindy has a way of speaking about love that comes close to expressing it.  I am so proud of my children.  They wrapped me and their mother up in the most amazing love this past week while my wife & I experienced our darkest hour and they stood firm in the message of grace.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Well, it is about 9:30 at night and you & Mom have come home. Wow, I am happy.

I feel like time is slowing down, which is a good thing. Time is slow enough now for me to understand each moment and take it all in. I am on a natural high that doesn’t seem to be letting up. I don’t want it to let up. What I have learned from the most recent journey that we all took together is that the quality of the moment is what matters. “Mother Earth” wrapped us all up and gently guided us through this journey. We made it! We did it! We didn’t even question it. We embraced it. We learned to love and with each journey we go through we will continue to love and learn.

I didn’t think I could love my family any more then I already do, but I have. I love you both soo much and I know you know this. I will never let this connection go away. I am growing everyday and now that you both are free from religion I feel like my soul just said, AAHH!! I feel like I am ok now. You told me to follow my heart, but until you were free from religion I believe I was still a prisoner because I couldn’t do it alone. I always questioned myself and I think that made me angry and I am not angry anymore. I am not an outcast. I wasn’t trying to be difficult or disagree to just be a rebel and you know that. My heart was telling me something wasn’t right, but to know that we were all feeling the same way makes me want to sing!!

What you guys did for this family this past week was so powerful and I am going to make sure that for the rest of our lives you know that. I learned more about love this past week and it is a treasure that I hold near and dear to my heart. I literally watched you both grow as  humans and I have never seen anything like it in my life. I have never seen two people more connected.

Thank you both. I love you more then you can ever imagine.

Mindy
