Dear Hannah: LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))

Dear Hannah,

The road to reconciliation starts with ...

realization (of both the might and the plight),

respect (both spiritual essence and natural function),

reassurance (of commitment to the corrective plan and path - don't ask for trust ... EARN IT),

and REAL relationship (dealing with each other as EQUALS).

We've got a long way to go ...

... because we keep trying to start at the finish line ...

... and often label voices of reason as voices of treason ...

... but 'tis the season ...

... to answer folly ...

... defeat conceit ...

... then rinse and repeat.

We are not done yet.

Love,

Daddy
