Promise

I have talked about my Pride and I have talked about my Self. What matters most to me is my promise though.

I will not give up this fight. I will not back down and I refuse to waver. I will stand up and be strong for her. The games are still being played, just as they always have been, but it's all so different now. "They" see the games, they know the lies. You are a joke to everyone around you.

So we will wade through the crap you are piling up. We will "cross T's" and "dot I's". We will PROVE that you are the absolute worst thing possible for her. You are incapable of love and you know nothing of truth and compassion.

You are the most selfish person I have ever known.

I PROMISE to love her with all that I have, because you never did. I PROMISE to be there for her no matter what that takes from me or gives to me. But most of all, I PROMISE to never stop trying to keep her from you.

Pride

In case you didn't know, I am a very proud person. I take pride in my family, my friends and especially myself.

But lately all that I can think about is how much pride I have in her. She is so much more than anyone even gave her the option to be. So much more than they said she could or would be. She is bright, talented, smart and beautiful. He maturity and kindness make me smile just thinking about it.

You see I know I am a big part of who she is. I have done everything in my power to nurture her, love her and be there for her since the day she was born. I know that she is not suppose to be my child, but she is. She is so much more my child than she should ever have been, but I would not change our relationship for anything in the world.

I love her and expect so much from her. I want her to be the best she can at everything she does. I worry for her and I do everything I can to care for her. She is mine and she always will be. I may not have given birth to her, but I have cared for her since the day she came home from the hospital.

She is a huge part of who I am and I could not be any more proud of that.
