Dear Biological Father, I know you are hurting. I know that you are in pain. I know that you are failing with tools to manage your pain.

But FIRST, Remember to Forgive Yourself
I have a LOT of conversations. I talk to myself, to others and to plants/animals. Sometimes you can even catch me talking to the clouds (those conversations are kind of sacred). And then I wait.
