Day 14. A hero who let you down (Letter)
Dear Brother,
As my brother you were always my hero. You were treated as very special in our house and I thought you were special too. But I am so disappointed in how you turned out. Your choices have not been always the best, especially when it came to your “business.” It took your children from you. I thought you would reform after that, but you kept at it and ended up in the predicament that happened this winter. I am so disappointed in you. But I still love you.

I am a "youngish" grandmother of 15 year old twin granddaughter who has recently (is a year "recent"?) adopted Islam as my way of life, much to the consternation of my family. I love to read. I love to write. I am writing a book about my decision to revert, about my spiritual journey. I have another blog about stories from my youth, my parents, and grandparents. It's a blog so my OCD daughter will not be able to throw it out when I die. I suffer from depression and anxiety, for which I am treated, so my posts may be a bit dark at times. C'est la vie.
Day 14. A hero who let you down (Letter)
My Life, Such As It is 
You constantly leave me breathless. Well done.
My son has disappointed me in the choices he’s made probably more than anyone in my life (aside from his miserable father…whom I divorced!). It’s truly a test of unconditional love when you can overlook the obvious and trust what you remember of them that was special. I know deep down he is still the sweet, intelligent, sensitive, ambitious boy I was once raising, and I’m just giving him time to find that side of himself again. I know he will. Disappointment at times? Yes. Would I give up on him or stop loving him? Never! In the end sometimes the only ones they have left are us. I want him to know the door is always open, and there’s always going to be one willing to give him a hand up.
