Atylk, Judith Pam and Shirley were all childhood friends. They had been through a lot together, and as life takes them on a journey of ups and downs it takes them a while to get it right. Atylk especially reflects quite often on the naivety and innocence of youth, the folly of adulthood and the mercy and awesome goodness of her Father. A Father that she thought was never there for her. As her journey through life shows her what it takes to become extremely rich, she also learns the value of love. She loved her friends with the love of a blood sister. She loved the children so much that she would do anything to protect them. She loved her man with intensity that at times scared her. But none surpassed the love for her Father. She couldn't quite explain to anyone why she loved Him, she just knew she did. The things she did sometimes enraged Him, yet she wouldn't listen. Often times she got in trouble, and although He never personally came to get her out, she got out, only to get right back in another set of trouble again. She longed for her Father's love, because he was never around, or so she thought. For it took her a while to realize He was the one sending help. He was the one recuing her all the time although she never saw Him in person. She thought he had forgotten all about her. However, his death gave her all the proof she needed that He did love her. Her name was written in his WILL......then it all made sense to her. Her earthly father was never around, but her Heavenly Father was with her every step of the way.
