I failed him...
I had him within
my grasp, and I let him go.
I should have done more!
I should
have...
No! We are not
killers!
We cannot let them turn us into the animals
they have
construed us to be.
Still, when I close my eyes I see LJ's
face
and I wonder just what I 'wouldn't' do
to have him back
with me,
to have him 'safe'...
I keep seeing
the look on his face,
as he realized that we would have to leave
him.
I know how worried he was that they would catch us.
And no
matter how hard I try,
I can't get the words he spoke out of my
head.
"Dad, you have to let me go"!
And I did.
I
let him go...
I never should
have let him go!
I should have fought for him.
I should have
done something more...
But I won't let
this be the last of it.
I can't...
They took
Veronica...
But they are not going to take my son.
