I'm a single father of a beautiful four-year old little girl. Her name is Hanna. A little over two years ago my fiancée, Jessica, was killed by a drunk driver near our home in North Dakota. I was, and still am, heartbroken. I raised our little girl by myself the best I could. I did my best to raise her the way Jess would have wanted (She was devoutly Catholic, I was not religious at all). Then about 3 months ago Hanna was diagnosed with a neurological disease that builds calcium deposits in the brain, leading to almost certain death. I broke down and thought about a lot of things, Suicide was among them. Instead after receiving a lot of support and encouragement from the WONDERFUL people on this site I decided to take Hanna on the trip Jess had planned to take her on after her confirmation. We went to Italy and saw the Vatican and a lot of incredible holy sites with my sister in law. She got me to start praying and talking to God again. When we returned to the States Hanna began an experimental treatment on August 22nd. Then unexpectedly, on September 15th, after the seventh procedure, the doctor said every single deposit in Hanna's brain vanished. The doctor said he had absolutely no explanation for it, but I do. I know, somewhere inside of myself that God was listening. And he DID help Hanna even though I certainly didn't deserve to have a blessing like her.

I just thought I would share this to say that yes, God does love us, and more importantly to thank you for all the support from this community.

@Atwhatcost Hey Im sorry! I was busy! I finally worked up the courage to call my parents and apologize for what I did those eight years ago. They didnt forgive me but they said they respected me again. Also that meant Hanna get to talk to her grandma and grandpa for the first time.

Plus, I needed Caitlyn to come stay with Hanna so I can go back to the farm because my hands need me there to help. (This is the first time I've had to work in 3 months so I've been trying to prepare for that too!)

P.S. Hanna said Bear wanted to say hello. :)

I was kidding! You have a four year old. Of course you're busy! lol

Kudos on calling our parents. If your family is anything like mine, bullheaded and slow-to-not-anger (which is the opposite of slow-to-anger) is a deep running gene. It takes time -- lots of time -- to get over past hurts. You just got time back. You took a good first step. That's a good thing too.

(And Spaulding wants to ask Bear when he and Hanna are going to feed ducks, but don't ask until you have time. lol)
