Forgive

you can't understand that we don't hate you.
all we really want to do is forgive you and go forward.
deep down we want you to come back to your wife, to your daughter, to the house you never even stayed in long enough to make a home.
we want you to find love and true peace in the God that gives us our strength and the ability to forgive.

two days ago I wanted you out of my sister's life, and probably in two more days, depending on what you do next, I may wish she'd ditch your sorry ass forever
BUT...
at the same time, I know- without a doubt- if you are willing to truly change, to admit your wrongs, ask forgiveness, and make restitution to my sister and my family for all you've done, if you are genuinely ready to be a father to my dearest niece, if you are willing to love them, ready to change, then I am ready to forgive you instantly, and I will be ready to call you my brother-in-law again.
