hi steve
we can be grateful for all those in our life. in tears and joy- whatever happens, happens- you shouldn't feel guilty for being yourself, unfolding and moving a long the path. with love in your heart it doesn't matter- we will come and go, and all the meanwhile- receive what it is we need- if we end up on separate paths- that is what it is- for the individual- it is the right thing. if you don't see it now, just wait and see
Life has a way of returning what we try to give to others and if that is what we have done we must have faith in that fact.
this life is a small part of a billion year journey, there's just so much in the long run. i am glad to have had shared time with those in my life that have come and gone- and to feel for them, i've learned from them and with them. if i never see her again, at the very least, i can be grateful. walk in faith, with love for god in your heart- it's all the courage you need to face anything. merry christmas
