Disappointment
There are people in your life that are supposed to be your foundation, your rock. People that you can depend on no matter what. To tell you what you need to do with hard situations. To keep a reasonable position and a level head. These are loved ones that are held to the highest esteem. Well, what do you do when that foundation is crumbling beyond repair and you are being disappointed from every side? What happens to your belief in good when those you look up to do not believe in it themselves? And when they let their own selfish desires trump all, even when it affects more than just you? When you feel you've been abandoned in your hour of need and they are not there, by choice. How is one to handle such a situation? I thought these people where rock solid and loved me to the end but over and over again they are proving otherwise. You can only get knocked down so many times before you can no longer get back up. I've been getting up over and over again since I was a teenager and now I am a mother and it is getting more and more difficult to get up. I thought family was supposed to be there for you. I thought no matter what, we stick together. I thought love trumps all. I guess I was very very wrong.

Your father has been a GREAT disappointment to ALL of us! I was hurt beyond belief when he told me everything just after I had our 6th child! It has been hard on all of us! Sometimes it takes some people a little longer to accept the truth about their Dad. You are a strong daughter and I hope I have been there for YOU because I love you so very much!
I can only imagine how you both have felt and feel.
Laurel, my heart goes out to you...that all would have been so difficult!
I don't know if you knew this B.J, my dad was and is an alcoholic. It was really hard to grow up without having a dad. I was very bitter for quite a while but, I have come to realize even with his short comings he did create me and for that I can be grateful. I am sorry for the choices that have been made but, you are doing a wonderful job!
BJ don't be discouraged.. You will always have your four sisters, brother, mom, Dave, your husband, his family, your children, and all our other family members. The Lord is mindful of you and your situations. I've learned this past year that the atonement is so very real, and it's put in our lives so we can use it not only for sins but for when we're going through difficult times. You're beautiful and such a great sister, wife, friend, and momma. Love you!
BJ-Always remember that you have four, almost five, beautiful children who love you and adore you. You have a loyal husband. You have ME, your mother, and four sisters and one brother who love you so very much. You have Grandparents who love you very much. Granny Walker adores you! You have so many aunts and uncles who love you too!
We are here for YOU!
P.S. Dave Udall thinks you are so beautiful! He thinks that you are an incredible mother! He thinks Garrett is so lucky to have you as his wife!
