August 21st, 2023

 Hey there little lady,

"Little"... haha.. I doubt you are little anymore given the fact that your daddy was 6 foot 5 inches. I'd imagine that you are around 5'6 ? That's a guess because we, your father's side of the family, have been alienated from you (and you alienated from us) since July 30th, 2015. That is over eight years ago and about half of your lifetime. 

Well, at least we had those first eight years of your life on a consistent basis to be together. It was awesome being together those years. You were such an amazing big cousin to my boys for their first years of their lives too. This picture is when you and your daddy and some of our friends took a boat out to one of the islands. We played in the warm waters and had an amazing day! Eagles flew overhead, you sang a little while soaking in the Gulf of Mexico water and your daddy's roaring laugh, that day, I can still hear. 

I realize that this website is most likely blocked in your house and across all comm devices so that you don't see it, however, if a friend or a friend's parent were to have you glance at these messages from us to you, I know that a bright, new, truth filled and purely loving, family oriented world will open up for you.

You are nearly 16 years old! Sweet sixteen! How cool. I imagine you are in high school now somewhere in Naples and starting your second year. Make it a phenomenal year, Emma! Have a fun time, surround yourself with solid people and know that we are here for you and want to have a relationship with you. Ask questions, Emma. Asking questions will lead to more questions and may deliver you from this gnarly estrangement. 

Family bonds reign over lies. Truth prevails. It's just a matter of time. As always, we pray fervently for your safety, for your robust health and for your rightful return to your paternal family who is here in Naples, FL just a few miles away.... 

Make no mistake about it, if we were so horrible and scary and didn't love you and want you in our lives, which is how families behave, then we wouldn't spend any time writing this blog over the years plus, much much more.....to defend you. I trust you are intelligently navigating. 

God Bless and Protect Emma Grace 💗

(If anyone is reading this blog filled with *contemporaneous notes from the heart* and have any questions, concerns, information, or anything else please ring me, Dama, at 305-796-8819. I am Emma's paternal Aunt that closely raised Emma along with my now deceased brother, Todd Foege, who is Emma's father. I'm always open for civil conversations, or if you're curious to know facts surrounding her alienation or if you have anything to share with me or my family. We aren't going anywhere. You can attempt to erase a loving family from a child's mind and heart, but it doesn't last forever. Emma has a right to know and have an opportunity to build relationship with her father's family. Period.
