Despite being anxious at first, the encounter ended up being a lovely opportunity for connecting. I’m encouraged to see Hudson’s initial apprehension turn into interest and hesitant acceptance.
As we continue on our path of self-discovery and healing, I’m so appreciative of our family’s newfound peace.
The last several weeks have been life-changing.
Mike and I have committed to total openness and communication, which are fundamental actions that are healing the divisions that were previously concealed by secrecy.
Sarah and Hudson’s connection is growing brilliantly, and she is now a regular, happy presence in our home. What were once terrifying interactions have developed into a true brotherly relationship.
After seeing Sarah as a ghostly presence in his dreams, Hudson now regards her as an older sister who is watching out for him. The echoes of old fears are replaced by their joy when they enter our home.
We have learned from this experience the priceless value of honesty and the power it provides.
Our family is resilient against the shadows of the past, standing together and stronger than ever. We promise ourselves going ahead to never again allow secrets to destroy the trust we’ve worked so hard to establish.
