I wish…
the justice system would actually promote, foster, and protect virtue instead of corruption; that the systems and safeguards the nation has in place would function based on the spirit of the law instead of the bureaucratic letter of the law; that our lives were not governed by the myth of meritocracy, but rather that those most deserving would obtain, instead of being shunned by a modus operandi desperately trying to placate the proprietors of wealth and subsequent power that they do not readily deserve; that we would eradicate not only the lexeme of “tolerance,” but also the surrounding mentality, and instead replace it with a disposition of love and understanding; that we as members of humanity could unanimously realise the tyranny of the “compete and conquer” mindset, replacing it with a “collaborate and coalesce” worldview; that we would sustain Carpenter’s “Bless the Beasts and Children” notion, helping those incapable of promoting their own eudaemonia, and that when doing so, we were not falsely accused of wicked, despicable, and self-serving motives, especially by the hypocrites engaging in such deploration;
I wish…
…that this dreadfully painful contention which I’m currently enduring would result in, if nothing else, this beautiful child’s recognition that somebody loves him above all else.

Thank you for your kind words, Mark. Obviously, this situation has been tough for everyone involved, and unfortunately, the most so for the child. I can only hope that life grants him the best in all that he endures, and that he has the tenacity to persevere.
Zach, very poignant & relevant to many situations I suspect.
If every father could say this & mean it, what a different world we would live in.

Take care!
Thank you so much for your comments, and your willingness to help; it means the world to me!
I don’t have accounts on either but will try to pass the word other ways.
I’m sure through your actions and others he will grow to know that others do care about him and he is capable of being loved – even though the people that should behold him in the first place- do not.
Keep caring.
