time with you Petra

Petra, one of the things i have learned in this tormenting time in my life without you and mommy, is that the time i spend with you is so precious and should have always been treasured!
My FAVORITE thing in all the world now, is playing with you! Playing Pirate Pete, Feather Tweet or Tweet Tweet the Feather, playing on a play ground or through tubes like McDonalds or Chuckee Cheese... I love you so much! You are so precious, sweet and beautiful, just like your mommy! I am sorry and always will be sorry for blowing it with you two! but you were only 4 then, so as so many have told me, if with no one else, I can be a healed, stable, and good daddy to you the rest of your precious life, and proove the real me to you! Praise God for the blessings of childhood and forgiveness!
You are my favorite now! i love you Petra!
Your dad,
David Bryan

Durring the Seperation

My sweet Petra Sky Bryan.
You are so precious! You never deserved blame! I am sorry that you ever felt it was your fault that
Daddy was sick. Mommy got daddy some real help and while I was in the hospital mommy decided
to take you and leave me. You and her stayed at grammys house and hired lawyers to use my disease
that had already claimed one family members life (grandaddy McKay), against me. They tried to say
I was unfit to see you, spend time with you, teach you, pray with you, play with you, eat out with you,
take you to church or even to grandma and grandaddys house. It was a very hard time. At first
I was at my lowest when this happened, but then God did a miracle. God opened my eyes to
how I had hurt mommy. He forgave me for the bad things I had done! Even though this has been
the worst times in our life, God has already used it to help me, your daddy, grow up and
be the man I should have been all along.
Now I pray that through this torture of being away from you and mommy, there is going
to rise out of the ashes a stronger family! This is my earnest prayer. For your sake Petra
I hope this all ends real soon with your mommy and daddy back together again just
the way you want it! They can't argue with that, because that is what you always said!
I love you my pumkin head! - daddy
