To My Dear Wife Susie,
When I first met you, you were so full of pain and anger. Sometimes it was difficult to know how to help you. I could not comprehend how anyone could have did these things to you. I don't think anyone has the right to hurt another.I could see under all that pain there was a sweet and gentle woman, waiting to be loved and cared for. I cried when you cried, I tried to console you when you had the nightmares. I wished I could wipe the bad memories from your mind and set you free. Since I could not do that I held you , Loved you and hoped that would be enough. I would never ever hurt you.In the twenty nine years we have shared I've seen you blossom into a wonderful caring woman instead of the scared young woman that you were. I've watched as you nurtured and cared for our Children and Grandchildren and tried your best to protect them. I know that what has happened to our Grandchildren has took a toll on you again, as it has on me. I hope now though that this time together we shall make it through. Know always that I Love you and will continue to do so without ever hurting you the way you have been hurt.

To My Dear Husband Kenny,
When you came into my life I was scared with the marks of Abuse. I hated the world for what had happened to me and hated my self for letting it happen. You took me into your world and showed me something I'd never experienced, "Love" without Abuse! In the beginning I distrusted everything you said or did. I had truly came to believe that life without being hit was normal and that no man was capable of showing Love in any other way. I had lost my first two Children and had given up on life. You encouraged me, inspired me, coddled me and gave me back my dignity. Twenty nine years we have had together now. We had three more Children and twenty Grandchildren together.Throughout it all you never failed to understand the pain I had been through and be there to support me. Even when the memories of my past crept into our present.The current situation with our Grandchildren has brought up old wounds, once again you encourage me and support me. I hope that by letting the world know of your love and devotion to me, that others who are still in an abusive relationship and think another better life could never be, will see that it can be with the right man that loves and respects you. My Dear Husband I thank God you came into my life and made it what it is today.....
A life free from abuse!

                                                To: All my Abusers,
Throughout my life there have been a lot of you. From the childhood secrets of pain, abuse and rape...to the beatings, rape and verbal humiliations as a woman.
And when I thought it was over one of you even crept into the lives of my Grandchildren, putting them through the same pain as you did me.
          You are all the same..Uncaring Human Beings! The scares from the outside have healed, the ones from within are forever. I've struggled with nightmares, health problems and near insanity from what you did to me, and now what you have did to my precious Grandchildren.You thought you would control me forever by what you did to me.This letter is to let you know you have not succeeded! Although I will always carry the inner pain of knowing what happened,I did and still will move forward. There are now those in my life who truly know.....
                     Domestic Violence and Child Abuse is Unacceptable!

To many times unspoken words hamper the healing process. We have written these open letters of our emotions as a way to release the pain and set it free.
It is our hope that it will help another in there healing process or to know that life can get better. Thank you to my Dear two new friends who have given me the courage to have a Voice.

            Love to our Daughter
Mother of our Abused Grandchildren
       I've not been able to write my
            letter to her as of yet.

To My Dear Grandchildren,
Although you are to young to read this I write it to you that one day you will know. I am devastated by what has happened to you. No child should suffer what you have. I pray that in time you will heal and be strong. Know always that Grandma Loves you and that I will always understand your pain and be here if you need an ear to listen to you. Life has dealt you a horrible blow but you are strong and I know like I have you will go on to a better life. Prayers for you until we can be together again.
Love from your, Grandma & Grandpa

The song How deep is your Love is the first song my Husband ever played for me!
His Love for me has surely been a deep and fulfilling one, it is played for him.
