Letter to My Children (February 16, 2019)
Here is a photo from our Thanksgiving 2006 trip to NYC. Your sister Gretel took this. She has a good eye for composition. I was showing it and Gretel was telling how I had around a hundred copies of this made and sent for our Christmas card picture that year. It was only after sending most of them out, that Gretel saw it, and pointed out that she was NOT in the picture!!
Candace is in the picture however. And yet, Candace and Joey, her husband, were noticeably absent from the recent wedding of Joey’s brother-Steven and Brittney, his bride. I did send some texts to Candace telling her how missed she and Joey were at the wedding in Virginia, (which I was so happy to be able to attend.) Along with a picture of Joey’s parents, Ron and Patty, and Joey’s brothers and extended family; who also have been cut off from contact with Candace and Joey, going on nine years.
Sent Sarah and Taylor a text, saying how sad that Taylor was not there to see his best friend since Kindergarten, and the best man in my Sarah’s wedding to Taylor, get married. How sad and pointless. But that is the reality of Calvary Temple, Sterling Virginia. Just one of a growing number of churches who are destroying families in order to try and please God.
Nonsense. (As Renee likes to say.)
