This family picture was taken some time ago.
Today, everyone in it is PERFECT (from where I’m standin).
Even though, in the past, I was a toxic liar, manipulative, broke, mentally sick, sexually promiscuous, sociopath who actually BELIEVED the lie when he was told that everyone would be happier if I wasn’t even a part of this family and that it would be in their highest good for me to get outa the picture.
When my amazingly wise former-mother-in-law told me that told me that, it did hurt. Quite a bit. and yet, no one FORCED me to believe that. I’m sad to say that I chose to do that myself.
Letting go (even temporarily) of the 6 people I love the most was the most gut wrenching thing I ever had to do.
My heart felt like it was being shredded because I LOVE Kiki so much and wanted nothing more than to be the man she knows her daughter deserves.
Even though it’s been a journey that includes a lot of painful emotions (just like yours) I’m so grateful for where I am today and I have none other than ‘our Kiki’ to thank for the amazing growth.
My childrens’ gorgeous mother, and I, have her own mother to thank for this whole new level of happiness that is slowly but surely be flooding into the lives of the people in this picture.
Thank you to YOU who, in your own perfect way, helps Londyn, Sawyer, Bode, Bentley, Blakely and their amazing mother to be the happiest family they can possibly be. (you know who you are 😘)
The 7 Winders in this pic have ALWAYS loved you, and always will, no matter what anyone says or thinks.
