Angie's Quotes/ Over 40 and feeling great!

JOURNEY THROUGH DARKNESS- SEE AND HEAR LIVE INTERVIEWS ON CONTACT PAGE

Subject: Hi

I watched your interview and I cried. I remember seeing the marks on you and Pam's backs after being whipped with an extension cord. I feel guilty now as an adult because I never told anyone. I do realize that we were just kids and you told me not to tell anyone because if your parents found out, they would beat you more. I'm crying now writing this message. I remember making you a birthday cake because your parents wouldn't get you one. I remember Pam asking me to make her one for her birthday as well. I also remember the "city" kids threatening you and being jealous of you and your sister because they thought you had so much. Little did they know...... I remember the fire very vividly, but you never told me how it started. I didn't get to see you much after the fire though and I lost track of you. I had heard that Pam was sent to a foster home, but I didn't know where or why. You seem to have grown into a very confident, and spiritual lady and I'm glad for that. You are truly a beautiful person, both inside and out- don't ever let anyone tell you different. I want to read your book even though I won't be able to do it without crying my eyes out. You have probably forgotten all about me, but I will always consider you a true friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Sherri (Mace) Harsh

Angie,

I can't even begin to tell you how I was feeling when I read your book. Partly ashamed. You lived right up the road from me and I never realized what you were going through. So many things came back to me when I was reading your book that now make sense. There are things I noticed and never said anything about when we were younger, your clothes, hair, why you always went to the back of the house when you got off the bus, etc. I just wanted to let you know that I am sorry for all you had to go through and to let you know that I am very proud of you! You could have let everything destroy your life, but you didn't.

It was good to see you and I hope to see you again. Your life is a true testimony! I am so glad you chose to share it with everyone, you will give a lot of strength to those who don't think they have any. God bless you Angie. Take care and I hope to see you again.

Angie's Inspirational Message To You:

1. Understanding and connecting with your inner soul. You only have one you, realize you are special and unique. God made each of us unique with special traits, personalities and talents. Once you realize and accept this, then you become one with your inner soul.

2. No one other than God will love you more than you will love yourself. Learn to love GOD first then yourself, this is the first step in gaining control of your life. God will never put more on you than you can bear. Never ask God to move your mountains, ask him to teach you how to climb them. Don’t hold on to anger or grudges against others, Let GOD handle what we can not.

3. Believe in yourself and all that you want to achieve, no matter what. Surround yourself with positive people who keep positive thoughts. Stay away from negativity; whether it is people or thought, it is contagious. Turn your hopes and dreams into visions then reality, there is power in faith. Remember there is no such thing as failure as long as you know you tried.

“ I have endured much during my 44 plus years of life; Abuse, both mental and physical, foster home living, death of a sibling, kidnap and rape at gunpoint, being married to a bigamist and more, however I choose to turn negativity into a positive lesson, to prepare me for my future. I realize we have no choice in choosing our family; however we do have a choice in selecting our friends.”

WHEN YOU WERE BORN ON? WHATEVER DATE YOU NEEDED ANYONE WHO WOULD TAKE YOU. I HAVE KEPT THIS INSIDE AS LONG AS I CAN. FURTHERMORE YOUR MOTHER…WHOMEVER SHE IS AND FATHER…NOT MARRIED TO YOUR MOTHER…LEFT YOU AT THE HOSPITAL…THEY ARE UNKNOWN TO ME. JIM WAS NEVER TOLD….BUT….I MISCARRIED A BABY BOY AND BECAUSE I WAS SO DEVASTATED ABOUT THE LOSS…WHEN YOU NEEDED SOMEONE…I VOWED TO TAKE YOU….BIG MISTAKE…INSPITE OF ALL YOU HAVE DONE I NEVER TOLD YOU AND THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO DO SO…. EVERY CHILD WANTS TO HAVE A PARENT AND NOT GO FOR ADOPTION….SO I THOUGHT. A MONTH LATER; I PICKED YOU UP AT THE HOSPITAL AS MINE AND JIM’S. YOU NEVER QUESTIONED THE DIFFERENCE IN YOU AND PAM’S SKIN COLOR, HAIR, INTELLIGENCE OR THAT YOU AREN’T EVEN A YEAR APART. WE TOOK YOU AS OURS AND JIM MADE A COMMMENT WHEN YOU WERE BROUGHT HOME THAT YOU DIDN’T SEEM TO BE A LUCAS…NAPPY HAIR AND ALL. I GAVE YOU AS MUCH LOVE AS A NON-BIOLOGICAL PARENT COULD AND MORE PATIENCE AND FORGIVENESS THAN YOUR PARENTS WANTED TO GIVE. I FEEL IT IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LET YOU KNOWTHIS SINCE I HAVE NO DESIRE TO SUFFER FOR SOMEONE ELSES UNWANTED BASTARD CHILD. NOW YOU HAVE IT AND I SUPPOSE IT WAS A GRAVE MISTAKE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN ANYTHING LIKE OUR FAMILY. PUT THIS IN YOUR BOOK. NO NEED TO BE IN TOUCH WITH ME ANYMORE. I AM NOT YOUR MOTHER AND SORRY JIM HAD TO SUFFER FOR MY BAD DECISION. BACK THEN, FEW PEOPLE WANTED TO TAKE ILLEGETIMATE KIDS. YOU PRABABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE AND I KNOW MY CHILDREN AND MARRIAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. I WILL NOT HAVE TO CALL THE REDCROSS AND MAYBE YOU WILL FIND OUT WHERE YOU CAME FROM INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HURT PEOPLE WHO WAS THERE TO GIVE YOU LOVE. GOODBYE
