Two Sides to Every Story

We received a comment from (supposedly) his other daughter on this blog yesterday. If it was really her, it wasn't necessarily positive but any communication is better than none - and I'm going to call it a Blessing and keep hope.

Here is the comment.... (deleted for the greater good) Instead, lets keep in mind that ..."Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much." Blaise Pascal

There are - always - two sides to every story. Which is a valid point if you've heard both sides. If you only stop to listen to one side of any situation you cannot make an informed decision for yourself.

We don't have her phone number or her address, we have asked for it but we were denied. Maybe in part because it leads to some truth that someone doesn't want to admit. Because the "other side" says she and her sister were in college and living at home from 2004 thru 2008. We already know what's true about that and what isn't. Like she said, her sister was in Kosovo. We'd like very much for the "other side" to admit the truth about that and a multitude of other things.

If any of the girls seek the truth, they have to be willing to accept what they learn - and I can only hope that they will also tell the truth. Unfortunately, we haven't seen that come to fruition yet. We haven't ever shared all the details of what happened with any of them. They deserve better than to be put in the middle.

But for anyone who ever wants to see the documents and proof that we have - we're an open book. We offer it to you - come see for yourself.

And this is what can happen to a family. The only constant is love. It is possible to disagree with someone and still have a loving relationship.

My wish for all of you reading this - is loving relationships with people who care about you.
