The Visit

. She quietly slipped into his room There he lay very proud and arrogant Who had held a gun to her child's head_ "boom", He would say_Satan his assistant He would tell her child that he would kill her And he would kill her beloved family She could not know that this would not occur The child lived for eighteen years anxiously How can one forgive heinous offense Committed against a child that is loved Only through God forgiveness for events God forgave without Him she would be unloved She asked him if he needed anything Promised to visit while inside screaming Finis' Our ex-son-in-law is in a nursing home now in the last stages of Huntington's Disease We think that he was abusive because of the illness but don't know for sure.. Our daughter divorced him and remarried to a man who is treating her good...

Our ex-son-in-law is now dead..Look up Huntington's Disease and see what it is..It is a terrible illness that destroys the brain..Our grandson from this marriage has the gene..He has not come down the chorea which is the first sign physical sign that the person has the illness..He has suffered from the emotional symptoms that go along with the illness for years..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

YYou asked. No disease can make you say things. Only an evil spirit that was born with you.and if that be love then love is evil. Never underestimate evil. Because if I can't have it no one will.

John, Thanks for the reply..God in me still wants to see him(ex-son-in-law) to come to repentance and be forgiven..I have to deal with the dislike that is within myself and ask God's forgiveness for the ill feelings that I have at times..It is hard to separate the person from the deed..Sara

P s. Blasphemy against the holy spirit is an unforgivable sin.

It's very eerie feeling in the poem ! So sad too. I'm glad she is away from him now. How can one live this way?
