Overview
Dear son,
I have written this letter several times in my mind to you, and each time I have struggled with what I really want to say.
I do not want to tell you not to love a strong woman, because I know that ultimately, you will fall for one. Your mother comes from a line of women whose strength was written in tears and blood, but with time, I have come to understand that our strength was wrong and because of that, it is not the kind of strength I ever want you to love.
Our strength came because we were looking for God in our father’s eyes and failed to find him there. Everyone looks for God in their daddy’s eyes. Our strength was born when, instead of the image of God, we saw the devil for the first time and his image became seared into our tender minds.
