May the Good Lord receive all the glory!

The tears could not stop flowing as I read this

I am glad that you believed in a deity as God then, for this alone saved your mother

And you must have learned that even though we humans might judge you as a terrible sinner, one unworthy of being listened to, but the Father showed you otherwise

God is mighty! No one should ever forget that. He pulled you out of destructive ways, using your mom. And I pray that he receives all the glory for your transformation
