GOD
Even though in the beginning of my abuse I hated God and often wondered why He would let these things happen to me, I understand now that it has made me stronger inside. Because I have survived through all the tribulations set before me, I know I can make it through anything. I also know that He would never let me fall so far, that I could not find my way back. There are times that, looking back, I can see where God's hand was holding me up, giving me strength. I have since become a born-again Christian and put my troubles in God's hands to help me through. I still every now and again falter with my faith and belief in God because I don't think things go the way I want them, but I find it always comes out right in the end. I continue to thank Him every day for the blessings I have received and the ones I have yet to receive.
FOSTER PARENTS
I think of my foster parents as my heroes because they instilled things back in me that I did not even realize were gone.
Robert and Margaret Wiggins accepted me into their home in May of 1989, I was only 13. I was overweight and I thought I was unattractive. These two people showed me how unconditional love was to be. They helped me find my self-esteem and self-respect again. Things I never knew I lost, they showed me it was ok to walk with my head up and not to be ashamed of who I was. They instilled in me a trust that no one else ever had. I felt free of the burdens I had carried for so long, I felt I could be a child like I should instead of an adult in a child's body. It was as if they had given me a new life. Even though I was only in their home for seven months, I will never forget them or how they touched my life. I believe they saved me from making some big mistakes in my life.
Thank you mom and dad Wiggins.
