There aren't many people I have unconditional love for, but my little sister, Adreanna Jade (A.J.), tops the list. I love her with everything in me and all that I am--more than life in itself. I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I had to choose between myself and A.J., I'd kill myself every time.
She's only 5 years old, and she's already been to Hell and back. It hurts just to think about her--about the things she's seen because of Bill. Such an innocent soul, already covered in so many scars. If there were a way to erase all the hurt, I wouldn't think twice about doing it.
When I tell someone that I love them, it doesn't just mean "I love you." The implied message is that I'll always have your back, I'll do everything in my power to protect you from evil, I'll be your best friend, I'll never replace you, I'll be with you until the end, keeping you safe, and guiding you throught life, giving words of wisdom along the way. When I tell A.J. that I love her, it's so much more than that. I look at her and see a blonde-haired, brown-eyed angel. She's always been so beautiful and full of life, even after everything she's been through. That little spark in her eyes has never faded. That little girl has become my whole world.
I've forgiven my father for screwing me over, but screwing over everyone else is unforgivable. The worst part is that he doesn't feel guilty. In his mind, Bill is the victim. He has a way of twisting reality to suit his own version of things. I'm afraid he will impose or impress that upon A.J., but I feel helpless to change it. What's done is done. There's no going back. For now, just know that I love her, and I haven't lost hope.
Can you believe that I haven't even met her yet? But when I do, I'll be sure to tell her that in the end, it was all for the best. God has a plan for every last one of us, we just haven't figured it out yet. In the meantime, life your life, never let anyone stop you, and don't hold back. The best revenge is happiness, but don't search for it. You can't change the past, but the past can change you. Don't forget who you are or where you're from. It built you. Everything happens for a reason. Love, but keep a guard. Chase your dreams, and keep an open mind. Take risks. Life is what you make it. Make it worth living.
