So, my friend was on the morning news today...the police are asking for the public's help in finding her or any information that will help lead them to her. It has now been over 3 weeks since my dear friend Susan went missing and this past Tuesday, the 21st, a letter was received written by her, to her 4 sons and the letter reads:
"Dear Michael, Daniel, David & Dennis,
My Beloved sons whom I asked and begged and pleaded with God to give me. I know you cannot possibly understand what happened. I don't expect you to. I do hope you look at it remembering the mother I have been to you all these years and God's obedient servant. Then maybe you can forgive me instead of hate me.
It may look as if I abandoned you. The truth is I left in order to protect you. I was driven away from my home by wicked men and not given help by other men. So believe what you want, God knows and when you are older I hope we have the opportunity to be together again. Right now it is best for you for me to be out of your life because what was happening continues, but at least now you are not in it because of me. When I am confident that it is safe I will let you know how to reach me so we can remain in contact. Until don't take my silence as not caring, or forgetting about you - It's because I love you that I am hiding.
I have a roof over my head, usually I have food and always always always I have God with me. Please don't forget me. I will never be able to come back, but maybe someday you can come to where I am. I always love you, I always pray for you.
Love Mom"
My heart is sick, my heart is heavy and broken for her 4 boys... I do not know if she is mentally well, if this threat is real or simply a figment of a damaged mind... I do know that nothing will ever be the same for her children. The damage has been done to them. The minute it was realized that she was gone, their hearts were broken beyond repair...and it pains me to think of what they must be going through...their Mom is lost, in more ways than one...and even if she returns to their lives, nothing will ever be the same again, for any of them.
How do you reconcile that? This is one of those "how can God allow this to happen" times for me... I just don't understand...

hi, i read the update today, and read the letter. it seems very unclear. i'm so sorry that you are going through this. i wish so much i could give you the answers you need. i do feel there will be times in our lives that we aren't meant to understand. this is the time where our faith must step in and we need to trust.
love you friend!
