Stand for what you believe

As you grow, you will hopefully come to think of your Daddy as a man who stood for what he believed in. I don't think of myself as a revolutionary or some big thinker. I was brought up in a comfortable and reassuring environment that your Grandpa and Grandma created for me. One thing that I was taught though was to stand by my principles and values. The values that taught me right from wrong.
Whatever you do in life, you must have a sense of right and wrong. There are various things which might seem right to you but are actually wrong. Search your conscience and you will find the right answer.
The was a time in your Daddy's life when he was associated with the church youth and many of them looked to him for a change in the way the youth was being handled and treated. One day I stood up for what I felt was wrong and spoke out in public against the way the youth was being treated. That day I became a bad person because I spoke my mind. Society will condemn you for standing for the truth. Those who do side with you will be forced into silence by the majority, but don't give up.
Remember you have to strike a balance here and not let your life as a whole suffer. Make compromises but only for the sake of those you love and for your own peace of mind.
There is so much more I can tell you but I would like to also learn on your own.
Love you my princess
