This is a piece I was writing the other day. Not too far into it, I realized a good friend of our families somewhat fits the piece. She is close with my brother and sister in law. So I wrote this for her. It’s a new flavor of writing for me. She is a fresh face to our little family and I hope to see her at many family events in the near future. She just completed school and turned 18. I wanted to give her these words from my heart. Enjoy! Everyone is searching for somewhere to hide. Nobody wants to fess up and get a clean slate. Don’t worry Baby, it’s okay. You will have your shot some other time. Don’t give up. Hit hit and one day you too will rise. I know you can. Do you? You have beauty beyond compare. Through you, and in spite of your name to claims, your innocence will be your downfall. I know you can believe again. Believe in yourself and know I am rooting...
