Hope

[Sue Clearwater]

I have no words to describe the pain that I have felt in my heart. Watching what Leah has had to suffer and never truly being able to help her, other than being there for her, it broke my heart... plain and simple it broke my heart. Honestly though? I know it was never enough... all of our late night or all night talks, it was a band-aid solution at best. Don't misunderstand me, Lee and I have always had a great relationship and we have been there for each other through the very best and the very worst of times. We have consoled ourselves whilst watching many a movie and eating so much chocolate it makes my teeth ache to think about it.

There is a change in the air though and for the first time in a long time, I have hope. Hope for the little girl who had the most beautiful smile growing up and who would charge into our bedroom every Sunday morning, begging her father to take her down to the beach. And hope that my beautiful daughter will finally find the happiness, she so truly deserves.

My darling daughter, for you I simply have no words... even now, with tears of joy in my eyes. My heart knows what I wish I could convey to you, but it's just impossible. Just always remember.... You are my rock Lee, you always have been and always will be. Your happiness is all I have ever wanted.

I love you so very much!

[Sue Clearwater]

Words will never justify how happy I am that you have been brought into my daughters life John, but let me start by saying, "Thank you... so very much!"

Bless you Lisa, I am so glad Leah has such a wonderful friend.

Your right Leah does have a wonderful smile even now and I know exactly how you felt I lost sleep at night trying to think up new ways to help but it was the same thing that hit me again and again.
