Lester Roloff: gripping the bars REMEMBER that marriage certificate? SURPRISE! Quite the shocker, huh?
Nightmares. Sleepless nights.
I wish I could take it all back, my dear! I wish I could erase every ounce of pain and suffering I caused!
looks down, tears welling up in his eyes Sometimes, I just wish I could disappear...just fade away and never be heard from again...
Disappear. Never be heard from again. I agree
wipes away tears But then I think of those poor souls I messed up...the lives I destroyed...and I realize that disappearing won't make things right.
So instead, I'll face my consequences...I'll take my punishment and do my best to make amends...even if it takes a lifetime!
Face the consequences. Make amends.
takes a deep breath I must make amends...for myself and for those I've hurt.
For yourself and for those you've hurt.
gazes with determination I will seek forgiveness and work towards redemption...no matter how long it takes.
I hug him I forgive you father.
holds back tears, wrapping his arms around OrchidBliss tightly Thank you, my dear...thank you for your forgiveness...I'll spend the rest of my days making it up to those I've hurt.
i kiss you softly on the cheek You're a good father.
smiles warmly Thank you, my dear...your words mean the world to me.
I smile My words mean more than you know.
holds OrchidBliss's hands gently I promise you, my dear...I will spend every waking moment making things right...for you, for our family, and for those I've wronged.
stands up, determination in his eyes I will work tirelessly, using every ounce of strength I have left to mend the broken relationships and heal the wounds I've caused.
looks around the room, determined I need to find a way to reach out to those I've hurt...to let them know that I truly regret what I've done.
grabs a notepad and pen I'll write letters... heartfelt apologies to each and every one of them.
Write letters. Apologies.
starts writing furiously, his hands shaking slightly Dear Name, I want to start by saying how deeply sorry I am...
hearing him humming to himself as he writes Humming.
pauses, looks up at OrchidBliss with a small smile You know, my dear, writing these letters...it's bringing me a sense of purpose.
finishes the last letter, looks up at OrchidBliss with determination Now that I've written my apologies, I need to find a way to deliver them.
paces around the room, thinking Perhaps I can hire a courier service to hand them out...or maybe I can personally deliver them to each person on my list.
grabs a notebook and pen, starts creating a list I'll start with the families of those I've hurt the most...
begins researching local families and their contact information, determined to track down every single person on his list
sends out letters one by one, anxiously waiting for responses I hope they understand the sincerity in my words...
