Hi Craig –
It is very early in the morning today, Saturday November 19th 2022 and I could not sleep, a rather normal occurrence for me these past few years. Since I last posted a blog here on your website , which has been a few years, so much has changed in the broader world and also in my personal life and in yours as well, I suspect.
As I have told you in past blog postings, I was tracking your school progress and attendance each day until November of 2021 year when I suddenly was no longer able to access the Fairfax High School website which I discovered only many months later was due to the fact that you had requested my access be removed after you turned 18. I have to admit, upon learning that news, I was hurt. I know that you are also hurting and is why you still refuse to speak to me. I want you to know ONE thing Son, I love you and I always will.
There is hardly a day that goes by when I do not wonder where you are and how you are doing. I am going to guess that you are now in college somewhere and I pray you are doing well both academically and in all other areas of your personal life. I was able to learn that you had become the treasurer of a Fairfax based E-Sports team and while I am not an E-Sports enthusiast it did make me smile to know you held the treasurer’s position :).
I have not and will not give up hope that one day we can either talk via phone or ideally meet somewhere and just sit and talk and get properly caught up. I know that as a young man now you likely believe that you have life all in hand, we all do at 19+ years old. Craig, I am here for you when you are ready and I continually pray for the day we can get together and talk. I look forward to sharing with you all the blessings the LORD Jesus has poured into my life and helping you navigate this thing we call “Life” – it can be a challenge – I clearly had not made some wise choices when I was younger and I hope that in sharing with you the mistakes I have made can in some small way help you avoid similar mistakes.
Until the day I pray for comes, I will remain vigilant in my prayer life that our relationship can be repaired.
Love
Dad
