I HAVE KNOWN SHAWN FOR 13 YEARS WE MET WHEN WE WAS 14 YEARS OLD AT SCHOOL . IT WAS MY FIRST DAY AT THIS NEW JR HIGH AND HE CAME UP TO ME BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED AND SAID HEY IM SHAWN YOUR NEW WHATS YOUR NAME ?? AND THAT WAS IT HE HAS HAD MY HEART EVER SINCE . WE HAVE 2 SONS OUR OLDEST IS 8 AND I JUST HAD A BABY BOY 6 MONTHS AGO WHILE SHAWN WAS AT BRICKEYS :( IM NOT GONNA GET INTO MY WHOLE LIFE STORY BUT SHAWN AND I HAVE HAD A REAL CRAZY LOVE ITS LIKE ONE OF THOSE LOVE / HATE THINGS IT LAST FOREVER AND IT NEVER GOES AWAY BUT NO MATTER WHAT I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART BODY AND SOUL.
MY FAMILY HATES HIM WELL FINALLY AT 26 IVE DECIDED I DONT CARE WHAT MY DAD AND MOM THINK I WANT TO BE HERE FOR HIM DURING AND AFTER THIS TIME IS OVER ITS NOT ABOUT THEM ITS ABOUT ME SHAWN OUR 2 SONS
( MY FAMILY ) ITS A LONG TIME FOR ME TO GET HERE
WELL THE OTHER DAY MY DAD ASKED ME IF I HAD SENT SHAWN ANY PICTURES OF THE BABY ? I SAID YES I WRITE HIM ALL THE TIME AND I SEND HIM PICTURES OF BOTH THE BOYS . WELL HE SAID WHEN YOU GET READY TO GO TO BRICKEYS TO SEE HIM ILL DRIVE YOU DOWN THERE .
THIS REALLY SUPRISED ME
ANYWAY HE SAID BUT THE BOYS DONT NEED TO GO
I SAID YES BOTH OF THEM ARE SHAWN HASNT EVEN HELD OUR NEW BOY AND OUR OLDEST WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM ANYWAY I SAID WHEN MY 8 YEAR OLD GETS OLDER MAYBE HE WILL SAY HEY MAN I WENT TO SEE MY DAD IN PRISON AND I DONT WANT TO EVER BE THERE . YOU KNOW IF HIS FRIENDS AND HIM EVER GET WILD HAIRS
ANYWAY MY DAD SAID WELL I SEE YOUR POINT
SO AS SOON AS MY VISITATION IS APPROVED MY DAD IS GONNA DRIVE US DOWN THERE
THIS HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE TO ME . SHAWN WAS KINDA SHOCKED BUT HE SAYS HES GLAD HE WONT WORRY ABOUT US DRIVING ALONE SO FAR .
I AM SO GLAD THAT MY DAD HAS OPENED HIS HEART AND HIS MIND UP TO THIS I GUESS HE KNOWS I DO LOVE SHAWN AND THAT HE IS THE FATHER OF MY 2 BOYS AND HE NEEDS US HE NEEDS LOVE IN HIS LIFE AND SUPPORT NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT HE IS A HUMAN BEING AND HE HAS FEELINGS .
YOU WOULD JUST HAVE TO KNOW THE WHOLE CIRCUMSTANCES AND OUR PAST TOGETHER IT HASNT BEEN ROSES BUT THE PAST IS THE PAST !!
IM SO GLAD MY DAD HAS HAD THIS CHANGE OF HEART AND HE HAS FINALLY STOPPED JUDGING SHAWN AND DOWNNING HIM ALL THE TIME
SHAWN HAS PASTED HIS GED AND HAS OBTAINED HIS MINISTER CREDINTALS HE WILL ADMITT TO ANYONE HE HAS DONE WRONG AND HASNT LIVED RIGHT IN A LONG TIME.
MY DAD SAID HE RESPECTS SHAWN B/C SHAWN WILL STEP UP AND ADMITT WHEN HE IS GUILITY AND HE IS PAYING HIS DUES AND HE KNOWS WHAT HES DONE IN THE PAST IS WRONG .
IM JUST SO GLAD THAT DAD HAS OPENED HIS HEART AND MIND AND TO ME THIS HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE . IM SO HAPPY .
NOW WE JUST GOTTA GET THE OTHER 99% OF MY FAMILY TO OPEN THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS :p

I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YA'LL IM JUST HAPPY AND SO EXCITED I CANT WAIT TO SEE SHAWN AND IM SO PROUD OF MY DAD FOR THIS HE IS TRUELY A GOOD MAN A GOOD DAD A GOOD GRANDPA ;)
