I feel so blessed to be a mother Sometimes I don't understand how Lorna could not have wanted this feeling ever in her life

But I's like this

The case was pretty open and shut against her Ito bilk close to a billion dollars froes the pension payments of millions of people, there's very little leeway that the prosecution is going to grant you She was sentenced to life in prison at a maximum security women's prison Her eyes boiled with hate towards Mason and me the entire time

I just sat there next to Daniel, my father, and prayed that this would be the last tiain

It tooktime to not instinctively call her Mos she said and did to h my life

Oh, right Daniel

So Daniel had always kept tabs on me from afar, but as Mason had said, he never really bothered to reach out toalong happily and that anything he would have done to get back in it would have raised retribution from Lorna towards both him and me

I was surprised when he told me that, to say the least

ILorna had said to me, it didn't sound like she much wanted me

"I don't think she did either," Daniel agreed with ically my father, I couldn't call him Dad "But when the whole topic of separation caht for custody Not because she loved you, but because she would win And she would have a truainst me our entire lives"

But over the last year and half, I think that Daniel and I have gotten close I mean, we don't see each other much - he lives in Canada somewhere in the mountains filled with snow - but we keep in touch by email and sometimes Facebook

I think it just feels good knowing you have a family out there in this world That you're not completely and totally alone

And just like that, we raise the next generation of our family
