"My daughter has not seen her biological dad since she was four. She’s 11 now. When she was two he contacted me and asked if I would allow him to terminate his parental rights so he could stop paying child support and I agreed.. I wanted to spare her the heartache of a revolving door father and the sacrifice of the financial support was well worth him never being able to disappoint her again. I never lied to her about where he went or who her dad was.. I have always answered her questions in the most age appropriate way possible. When she was four he contacted me and told me he has been diagnosed with cancer and would like to see her. I set aside a day and we met in the park. He had asked for two hours. He stayed 20 minutes and we never heard from him again.. Over the summer we ran into somebody that knows him and they commented on how she looks like his other children. They elaborated that he has settled down and has a family now. My stomach tied itself in knots thinking of how hurtful that must be to my daughter.. I cut the conversation short and we got in the car to leave and that’s when I saw her smiling. She said “mom.. He figured out how to be a dad. That’s such a nice thing. I’m happy for his kids.” And that’s the day an 11 year old taught me all I need to know about forgiveness"

"Hold on if your cheeks hurt from smiling
And you’re afraid your feet might lift off the ground
And just seeing him smile makes you smile and touching him makes your heart go wild
So dear hear, just hold on"

"Det letteste ville være at sige, at det nok skal gå. Men det er ikke helt sandt. Først skal det ligge ned og græde i en hel uge i træk. Så skal det kravle, en smule ynkeligt. Derefter skal det stå op, mere og mere stabilt for hver dag. Men til sidst, lover jeg dig, at det nok skal gå"
