Hope

 


Broken. Her heart was crushed to powder and I can't do anything about it. I have seen her endure things no one should ever have to endure. So, when she moved during a pandemic and was able to make lots of friends and even begin dating someone she ultimately fell in love with, I was so impressed by her.

My daughter suffered a horrible tragedy when she was a teenager. It took a long time for her to rise, but she did. Her scars are big, but God's love is bigger. He never left her and He never forsook her. He always keeps His promises.

When she was falling in love, I could see it in her. It was hard for her to trust, but she gave in to love and let this man penetrate her heart and soul. She even told him about the trauma that happened in high school and he told her how sorry he was that she had to experience that. And he promised her to be her man forever.

He asked her dad and me for her hand. Her dad gave his blessing as long as he would promise to love God more than anyone else followed by our daughter. He promised. We all believed him.

What we did not know was that a month ago, he did something he should never have done. It caused a whirlwind of damage for my daughter and for her circle of friends. They all turned against Morgan because they don't know what really happened. Morgan chose forgiveness and love. We kept planning a wedding.

Then, three weeks before their day, he caved. He could no longer handle the pressure of what his family was doing. I am being very careful because I won't expose them for what they really are, but I will say that his dad should have given him counsel to get real help. Instead, he advised him to cover up what he did and never tell anyone. He harmed my daughter and no one knows the truth. All of the participants in this ambush are getting away with it and delighting in the damage they caused.

Her heart is so broken and to make it all worse, a couple of months ago, she discovered an enlarged lymph node on her neck and it has not decreased in size with antibiotics. So, on July 8 she gets to head to a cancer center to do more tests to determine if it's malignant.

Blindsided and dumped only three weeks til her wedding to the man she loves and a cancer scare. All of this on a 24-year-old who has already experienced a trauma so severe it nearly killed her. I am more than just angry. I want to expose them all and I want them all to hurt, but as a Christian, I am told to forgive. Therefore, I will walk in forgiveness. That family should be paying me at least part of the costs of the wedding they sabotaged. They should be writing me a check for $40,000 and telling Morgan they are sorry for what they did. They know what they did, but they are lying. I know what they did too and unbeknownst to them, I have evidence. I also am armed with the truth about their son.

We never saw justice for what happened to her as a teenager. People with deep pockets and important connections made sure that didn't happen. We likely will see no justice for this one either. It is completely unfair and our daughter and entire family has been assaulted.

Hope. I don't see any hope, but on June 25, Morgan adopted a sweet puppy and named her Hope. We all love her already. May HOPE bring healing.

  1. When Christ was accused he stayed silent because God was the only one he needed to be right with. Usually the guilty need to "explain" things.
