A LETTER FROM THEIR DAD THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

The letter I received the very next day after sentencing—while I was in jail—came from someone I had viewed in a very negative light. In a moment when I felt defeated, lost and close to giving up, that letter strengthened me. I would read it every single day, sometimes all day, while locked up, just to remind myself not to quit—that this was only temporary. That letter was very powerful and inspiring. It also shifted how I saw him at the time—my children’s dad—and changed my mindset in a way I never expected towards him.
