Oh my god.

So yes, kind of weird and kind of nasty.

I started distancing myself from her, but again, her daughter loves me, so it was difficult.

Anyway, one day at work, Elle asked me who was my favorite Disney princess.

And I said it was either Belle or Mulan.

She said, who's Mulan?

And I started explaining her story because Mulan is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Amy overheard me and pulled me aside to tell me that Elle wasn't allowed to watch Mulan because it promoted feminist and cultural ideals that she didn't want in their household.

What?

I just kind of laughed and shrugged off, thinking that was it, until the next morning when I received the following text.

Good morning.

I just wanted you to know that I absolutely adore you.

Our views on political, some social issues are completely opposite, and that's okay.

You have been raised in a certain way, and I've lived a whole life at this point, so our views and beliefs have been shaped differently.

Despite that, none of those beliefs change our salvation status with the Lord, and that's what's most important.

Elle isn't exposed to a lot of things for good reason, and some might not make sense to you, which is again, okay.

Just know that although we differ in views on certain things, we love you for you and not your political or social views.

And I'm always open to conversations about both when it's between you and me.

Elle doesn't need to be around for those chats.

You are loved.
