I've been waiting for an opportunity to speak in front of an impartial judge for months. My day is almost at hand. Daddy always made me believe I had a voice. I will always believe Daddy was right about that.
Today, I have a most painful abscess on my back gum that has been stirring around undercover and subtle for weeks. It decided to go ballistic this weekend. It gives me moments of intense pain in my jaw and face, then subsides. My body will heal it because that's what bodies do, and the pain will be gone, most likely, after the abscess has broken and spilled its poison out to be rinsed and flushed. Not a lovely thought, but somehow it strikes me as metaphoric. Both abscess and arbitration will be memories shortly, and because of both of them, I will do things differently. I can hope that others will, too, but I cannot make that happen as I once naively believed I could. However, just as the pain in my mouth forces me to deal with the needs of my gums, I believe wholeheartedly, the arbitration tomorrow will have a similar effect. A girl can dream, can't she? However, when describing me as that pain, I am sure my opposition uses a part of the body other than the gum.
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. 1 Corinthians:15 58
Peace.
Peace.
Love, Linda

Dear Little Sister, I am reading this as you are now in the court room with hopefully a fairminded Judge. This whole experience has put you in a different place and has forced you to become what you always have been....a writer.
Love You
Ruthie
I like the way you worded that. I think it runs in the family. I love you. I hope he is fair minded, too.
