Please Lord, don't take the girl.

Missing image
My stomach in knots, mind in a whirl,
God how I love this precious girl.
My fingers are shaking, eyes full of tears,
I don't wish to realize the worst of my fears.

That Tory will leave us, and this sick world,
what then will happen to her 3 beautiful girls?
Will the abusive Ex get his, leaving one all alone,
she can't leave us yet, needs to see them grown.

I cant concentrate, I can barely breathe,
I won't let her go, don't want her to leave.
The strain is too great, my mind breaking down,
sitting here in my tears, I'm sure to drown.

God, I ask you, please spare me that pain,
let Tory get better, before I go insane.

Author notes

Tory, sweetheart, fight for life honey, I need you, I love you...

You know I read over this once I posted it, It seems quite a bit selfish of me doesnt it? My pain is nothing compared to what she has gone through these last few weeks. But being an alcoholic I guess my character defect of thinking it's all about me has not been removed nor lessened. I must pray about that once Tory is out of danger.

    So Sincere

    You have prayed a prayer here sincere my dear brother that many wish.. For her to recover, and for her to see a side of life that is better, and you for example is a better side of life and love. I can appreciate being a friend of Victoria, and the way you have done everything in your power to show her love. A beautifully inscribed piece from your heart and soul. I hope she is OK, and gets well soon. Peace.

    Tory has reached out to so many people here on Ap, and it is sad to know that she is in such pain. I for one, do not see the selfish side to this as I would feel the same way if the one I loved was in the same situation.

    This is absolutely beautiful, and I'm really sorry for both your pain. I know how it feels, though not as intimately as you do .. my grandpa died of Lou Gehrig's, a close family friend of cancer, now another has Grave's disease .. etc, etc .. chronic diseases are absolutely terrible, for the family and friends.

    Wow! I am just beside myself. I have no clue what your story is but you have my prayers. Please don't feel that you are selfish for being human and needing to express how you feel. This is so full of love and devotion for your precious Tory and there can be no selfishness in that! God be with you in your time of need. Marie

    My prayers are one with yours, Scott.
    Your anguish is apparent here.
    Please spare Tory's life and bring her to full recovery, Father.

    Do not feel guilty about your feelings. It is not selfish at all. You are experiencing something that hurts you to the core and you need to express that Scott. I have not been on too much and didnt realize Tory was this ill.
    You are strong and you need to remain that way for her and I am sure you know that. I am here if you need to vent..
    Love and blessings always,
    Nor

    Love brings it all to the surface

    To Tory I send Light as well as to you.
    Work your program and accept where you are without judgment. It just is what it is right now.
    No one wants someone they love to go...no one.
    The poem is beautiful.

    Scott,
    I cpmpletely feel your pain. Though it may not be the same, I am going through the same thoughts with my mom right now.

    I hold Tory, you and her girls in my prayers and thoughts. Candles lit that she grows strength each day and can return to life where she belongs.

    I know it may not be much, and I know we don't know each other well, but if you ever need someone just to listen to you vent or rant about things, my ears are always here.

    You must.

    I know how hard this is for you, and you must know that the Lord knows best. His will is always done and I believe that Tory knows you love her and need her. You will not be left comfortless and neither will her precious children. Take the steps to ensure that her ex not get custody of those children to give her more peace of mind and you as well. I do ask this and remember something nothing is impossible with God.
