My name is Bessie Hudgins. I am the Grandmother of the three girls this site was made for. I would like to put a different twist on Father's Day this year.

I would like to wish my granddaughters Happy Father's Day…two of them are back with us and their Dad for the first time in seven very long years. The middle girl is still not allowed to see us, but we will never give up. These girls are the very best part of my son and he along with his brother are the very best part of me. Below you will find a number of pictures of our family that have come to mean so very much to me. On this Father's Day I would like to say, Happy Father's Day to my husband, my two sons, and my step-son and all our very special grandchildren.

My granddaughters have been back only 3 short months, but they have stepped right into the spots they held before they were taken from us.
It is like nothing has changed...except they are all grown up now, at least they think they are.
Their personalities are the same, except they are far less trusting then they were seven years ago.
Just having them with us and seeing them back with their daddy is a miracle. Thank you God.

Children are a blessing from God. They arrive in your life and turn it completely upside down. They keep you up at night, want to talk your head off, wake you from a sound sleep when they get scared so they can crawl in your bed to feel safe. You have to stay up with their every move and you learn quickly that you can't keep up with them at all. God sends them to the families he wants them in and he has a plan for each and everyone of them. We do not own them, we love them and guide them for the rest of our natural lives.

Thank God for Carl Edwin McCurry, Christopher Taylor McCurry, Patria Diane Hudgins, Richard Lonnie Hudgins, II, William Jeffrey Hudgins, Sheree McCurry, Kelly McCurry, Cassie Hudgins, Robin Hudgins, Jennifer Diane McCurry, Christy Dawn McCurry, Anna Elaine McCurry, Carl Brandon McCurry, Richard Lonnie Hudgins, III, Paula Denise McCurry, Laci Jordan Hudgins, Kelly Denise McCurry, Levi Evan McCurry, Caleb Parker McCurry and Naomi Sheree McCurry. Thank God for Cody Hayes, Dusty Hayes and Chase & Zack our only set of twins.

Happy Father's Day to Richard Lonnie Hudgins, Sr., Carl Edwin McCurry, Christopher Taylor McCurry and Richard Lonnie Hudgins, II.

I would also like to wish Happy Father's Day to my dads Foster Dutton and Norman Edwin Dowell.

This is a very small portion of the things I have saved. There are Birthday Cards, Valentine's Cards, Father's Day Cards and personal notes. There is nothing in this world I want more then to be in my children's lives.

Judges – Attorneys of the family court system do not search deep enough into the lives of the families they destroy. No one seems to care about keeping children from being hurt beyond repair. Money is NO reason to take a child's parent away from them. No one should have the power to take a child's parent without just cause that has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Below you will find a few pieces of my children…
mementos are all I have left of my children…
I would walk through fire to be with them…
but for now I have to settle for looking at their beautiful hearts in the cards they made for me.

If you know my children…if you see them…please tell them that I love them, PLEASE!

I would also like to encourage anyone to never give up on their children. I will never give up on my girls…
they are worth my all…
and I plan to be right here waiting for them.
