Today as I was speaking with my daughter, I started to cry. It actually hurts very much to truly love someone with all your being. Unfortunately for me, that is how I love.
My daughter spoke volumes of wisdom as she processed the revelations she had (that by the way, were provided by God and friends).
I was crying for many reasons: Revelations that pushed her and her life in another direction
Revelations that we all make mistakes. Revelations that relationships take work each and every day. Revelations that being loved and giving love away is a wonderful thing. Revelation that forgiveness is at our discretion and should be used frequently.
In our today world, it's so easy to toss a relationship by the way side. As it is with marriages, when one individual feels they are not being treated nice, not loved enough or the way they want, they aren't being given the proper amount of attention, etc., the marriage is tossed by the way side. What are we doing people?????
Wake up!!! Take a stand for your relationships and love freely and deeply. Forgive and move on. You're wasting precious time that you could use to deepen and strengthen ALL relationships.
With love

p.s. To my children, Carrie, Michelle, Mindi, Meagan and Candice: Please know how much I love you and that I am proud of the person you have become and will develop into.
To my husband: Thank you for loving me the way you do and know that you, too, are my pride and joy.
To my other family and friends: Know that I love you and thank you for being in my life and being a blessing to me.
