Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Oh Vanna, you gave me chills reading your story. I am so sorry for what you too have endured. Thank you for sharing your story.
Families NEED to read more stories like ours, so they do not make the same mistakes we have made.

Thank you Erin and Jill. It's so hard to share that story because there is a lot of shame and regret. I only share it so that others may stop and pray hard before going down the same path.

I can totally relate how hard it is to share it. I am there too. So many people look at my family, I have four wonderful boys and a beautiful daughter and think how complete. They do not see the pain.
