dear father

entry 29

dear father,

this will be the last letter I write to you. I would have stopped sooner but I just have one more thing to tell you in case by any chance you read these letters one day.

Arlene helped me pray today. it went something like this:

Father God,

I kneel before you today because I'm tired of living like I do. I'm tired of this emptiness that I feel.

Lord, I believe You died for me and I'm so sorry that it was because of my sins. please, forgive me.

come into my heart and give me that same peace that Arlene has. I don't have a father, God, so now I ask You to be the father that I never had.

in the name of Jesus Christ...

amen.

by the time we finished I realized that I was sobbing. I felt so embarrassed bit Arlene hugged me and told me that it was okay.

I have never felt better in my life. I can't explain it but I could feel something inside me. something good.

love?

I don't know. all I know is that today was the best day of my life.

sincerely, James.

p.s. I forgive you dad...
