I have grown tremendously since book 1, have had some of the same trials, heartaches, and pain. I have some healing and a little closure. Book 1 showed how I was in the underground tunnel trying to dig my way out. It was a horrible pit. It was dark, cold, and very sad, causing a lot of tears, depression, and stress. We were wondering whether we would or could make it out. Today, book 2 shows how happy and blessed I am to say I'm free. It's because I called onto the Lord that he heard my prayer and saw my tears.

Today, I am confessing and apologizing to my four children, Pamela Denise, Regina Ann, Deborah Kay, and Gregory Edgar for all the pain, embarrassment, and confusion that I put them through. They didn't deserve it. They are the most awesome and amazing children in the world. Despite of everything, they stuck by their mom.
