I am heartbroken right now and trying to pull the pieces back together.  My diet is on pause and I am perfectly fine with that.  There are some things in life that command your full attention and recent events have done just that.  My family is in pain and all of our hearts are broken.  We are trying to mend them together again but it will be a day by day process. 

There are some things in life that children absolutely should not be subjected to and our little girl has unfortunately experienced one of these unimaginable things. It’s one thing for an adult to experience this kind of pain as there is understanding in it but for a child there is no understanding. 

I am unable to verbalize current events but I have faith that we’ll come through it.  It is a fine line we walk as step parents.  My heart belongs to this little girl.  I’ve come down to the rawest emotion and that is that my heart is broken, as I watch her heart shatter. 

After all the fear, anger, grief, and exhaustion, I’ve decided to put my trust & faith in God.  I pray that He will lead us, as a family, on to the path of healing.  I know that she will persevere, she is strong, courageous, and an amazing young lady.  I just wish that I could bare her burden for her.  Unfortunately, all I can do is listen, support her, love her, and help her through it.  She has my undivided attention, she deserves no less.  Please forgive me for my disappearance while I channel my energy into healing our hearts.
