Light into Darkness

I sit here tonight thinking of the day at hand. I have talked to so many people and have gave them encouraging words. I ask myself why don't I take these words myself. I have been there before so many countless times. I have struggled with drugs and death and loss of family and friends and even a loving wife and kids. I tell them there is hope and keep asking myself is there hope or is it just one viscous cycle of life.I lay in bed at night trying to figure out where this all started. Is there an end to all this madness. I write here tonight finally seeing this picture of life that has meaning and hope.I was created to be  father a son and a friend and a husband.I took these things for granted for so many years until now. I sit here drinking my coffee and write and bring clarity to this subject. There is hope there is light I just have to let the light shine into the darkness and be exposed to the dream of happiness and life. A while back I took my daughter to her first Valentines Sweet Heart Dance. We were on the floor of about 85 little girls Grades 1-4. The Song came on Butter Fly Kisses and she asked me to dance. I went onto the floor and we started to dance and as we were dancing I held her so tight to capture the moment I was always was so close to, but could never get there do to my selfishness. As the song played on she pulled me down eye to eye and said " Daddy I love you and missed you" and gave me a kiss. You see there I tell you this to give you hope and peace of mind.
