Day 5: My Proudest Moment (Day 5 of 30 Day Blogging Challenge)

My proudest moment is two-fold and hasn’t come yet, but it will happen. One day Cassie’s Law will be written into law, and children will no longer be at the mercy of their sexually abusive parents; that will be the first part of my proudest moment. I’ll hug my daughter, my Cassie, and try not to cry as I’ll know my biggest fear concerning her will never come to pass. I’ll have fought long enough and hard enough for the safety of my daughter and children just like her, and the children will have won. And some day beyond that, way in the future when Cassie is an adult, she’ll learn the facts regarding what her biological father did to her older sister, and she’ll learn all about my efforts to make Cassie’s Law a reality. That right there will be the second part of my proudest moment, being able to tell Cassie that I moved Heaven and Earth to protect her, and her being old enough to understand and comprehend my love and efforts.

But for now, I move forward trying to find a politician who will join me in this fight, who will take their political power and help me through the channels and help this law grow from an idea to actual legislation. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, as long as I live I will work on making Cassie’s Law a reality and protecting my daughter and children just like her.
