Excerpts

"God, Hi. It's me, Natalie. Please love me and protect me and my big brother. God tomorrow is Christmas. Santa will be stopping by all of the houses of the good kids. God, I am begging you to please let Santa stop by here. I know I have not been the best little girl but I promise to try harder. God, you know I still don't have anything nice to say about Nana, so I won't say anything bad. God, if I had the chance to choose getting everything I want for Christmas or living here with Momma, I would choose Momma.I still love you and I hope you still love me. Amen!" Natalie prayed."Hi God. It's me, Chance. I know you haven't heard from me in a while. I stopped talking to you because I just gave up on me and my sister ever being happy in life. I just want to tell you I'm sorry. Thank you for letting us come here to be with Momma for Christmas. I just want to ask you to please allow Santa to be good to Natalie this Christmas. She deserves it. She is a good girl. Let her get all of the things she wants. God, I used to ask you to allow me Nat, and Momma be a family, but I don't ask that anymore because I know it will never happen. I do want to ask you to please always allow me and my baby sister to stay together. Amen!" Chance prayed.
