This year has been challenging for my family and me in so many ways. so much has happened.

Now that I have had time to sit and reflect, I look forward to the new year.

I have made some wrong choices that have caused pain to my family. I found my father cheating on my mom after 32 years of marriage. I sometimes feel I saved him from suffering before it was too late.

My brother has made some wrong decisions, which has caused pain to my family. My kids are so innocent in all of this. I pray they can have a healthy life.

They are my world. I pray God can forgive my mistakes and allow me to move forward.

Forgiveness isn’t easy. But I know if God can forgive me, I can forgive anyone. I will keep my head up and find strength in his word.

Amen.
