Hello Family, I hope you’re all well. I have been moving through a lot of personal reflection and in this my niece who is a year older than me because of the age of my older sister when she had her. Reached out to me randomly to say hello. It’s been over a year since we last spoke, in this conversation I spoke about where I am and my father got brought up.
I know this is her grandfather, but in this moment she brought a new lens to me. She talked about him with so much love, and admiration and even spoke about how he pulled her out of an abusive trauma filled home she was living in under her grandparents on her father’s side.
To provide more clear guidance, my older sister (who told me things about my father’s past) was a victim of rape as a teenager and gave birth to my niece as a result. Because of this my niece was in the foster care system because my sister was not mentally stable enough to support her daughter at that time. So eventually my niece ended up with her father’s family. But her grandmother was not very kind to her, so after years apparently of this my niece prayed to have someone help her and one dad my dad was walking down Nostrand ave in brooklyn and she saw him and he saw her. He ran up to her and she begged for him to help her and he did.
She told me he never harmed her; or touched her ever. She knows he is very intense and strict but she loves him so much and she always will. This is important to me because as you all saw in my father story, I was painting a picture of a “monster” but then out of the blue the universe/ancestors sent a new voice and perspective into my awareness for my father.
That being said I plan to have a conversation with him and really feel out where I am with him, I love you all.
