A Bridge to Forgiveness

After 37 years my daughter Tanya and I found each other.  We began to communicate by phone, email and text.  Through the dyslexic ramblings in my blog posts she saw a search for change and Forgiveness.  After several months we would meet for the first time in 3 decades.

Photos of our first time together.

The Journey to forgiveness for my daughter Tanya and I started with honesty, trust and faith. As we began our communications through emails and telephone communications we shared some of our missed 37 years.  I began by sending baby photos of Tanya that she had never seen.

How my daughter and I started to reconnect after 37 years.

After our first phone call we continued to talk, email and share who we had become.  This included sharing family photos. 

I first saw my new family in a collage and in a photo of my three granddaughters.

A Bridge to Forgiveness is about a father and daughter reunited after 37 years.  

On our journey the photo and sketch of the bridge that crosses the Rouge River at Grants Pass became part of our story.  

 Tanya and I visited Grants Pass and this bridge in 2014

I drew this sketch in 1996 eighteen years before Tanya and I would visit this bridge on our journey to forgiveness.

Now that "A Bridge to Forgiveness" is published I thought it would be interesting to share some photos and stories of my daughter Tanya's and my journey.
