It's taken me awhile

sunshine girls wrote: I just wanted to apologise to everyone here for something I’ve done to you all. I have lied about my whereabouts, for my own gain. I actually live in Australia. I won’t give you my excuses, because excuses ruin apologies; however I lived in California for the majority of my life. I’m truly sorry, I probably never would’ve apologised publicly, but recent things have happened within my family and I felt the need to clear my conscious.

What goes around comes around; it’s come around for me already. You can rest assured that I’ve been punished sufficiently for misleading you several times over in the past weeks. I don’t want any abusive comments; though I’m sure you have them. If you want to yell at me and tell me how horrible I am, send me an email so nobody else has to read it.

My mom always said this quote about forgiveness, “Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it forgoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury”. I don’t expect you to say you forgive me, I don’t even expect anyone to say anything to me anymore. I just don’t want anyone to be hurt and angry (which, unfortunately, is rather unavoidable). I am truly sorry that I ruined everything by being such a stupid woman; you were all so kind to me when I needed it and I won’t ever forget the help you gave me.

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I hope all the pregnant mommies have happy, healthy babies, and I hope that 2006 is a great year for yourselves, your spouses and your children.

God Bless,

Bonnie.

CAMSMOM1 replied: Hello, I just read your post. Even though I have not been personally effected by what you did ( havent' read your posts, I'm new here.) But my heart does go out to you.
We all have lied in the past and made mistakes. We are all human, and we all need forgiveness. I thought about a scripture in the Bible when Peter asks, "How many times should I forgive a person? 7 times?" And Jesus replies, " You should forgive them 7 x 70" I'm not trying to sound "preachy"...but it's a good message. For we all have needed forgiveness and have hurt others.
By your letter I can see how sorry you really are and how much this has effected you. You have done all you can do, give a heart felt apoligy.
We can't take back the things we've said or done, but we can make a change in today.
I am new here, but so far the women/men have been very understanding and compassionate people. I'm sure they, including myself, would still love to hear from you and put the past in the past...where it belongs.
I pray things are going better for you and your family.
If you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.
Hugs to You!
Ann

mammag replied: You know, Bonnie, not many people would be able to come on here and admit that....that speaks volumes. It sounds like you have much more going on and I don't think this is worth adding to your stress any so don't worry so much about it.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas as well! Take care of yourself!
