No one can convince me that God didn't have a hand in it. It's all about "Who we are when no one's watching". I think of you often, knowing that you are a strong individual and that your gene pool contains a great deal strength. Remember a while back.. when I wrote to you and told you every morning and evening while brushing you hair, to recite "I am a good person deserving of love, and I am a worthwhile individual"? I meant every word of that, and now.... you are paying it forward, just like I do, to others that need to remember who they are, and rebuild their connections and commitments to themselves. I am proud of you!! You have arrived at the train station, and now are simply choosing where you want your train to go. My favorite song is "the road is long...with many a winding turn... by Simon and Garfunkel, you are still in the tunnel, but now you know the light you see isn't the train.

But I have always said that you don't give yourself enough credit and that you are stronger than you believe. This past year has been proof positive of that. <br /><br />Did I want to tell you the God's honest truth at that very moment? No way. I wanted to wrap my arms around you and tell you that the issues you were having with X would pass and that life would eventually return to "normal". I knew I couldn't fix it and that lying to you would serve no purpose.<br /><br />I knew at that very moment, that you COULD and WOULD get through it all. Not just that day or the following weeks to come, but ALL of it and you and your babes would be better for it.<br /><br />Your faith is inspires me. Even at your weakest moments, when you're ready to toss in the towel, just the slightest nudge gets you back on track. That is all you my love, not someone else giving you their strength. <br /><br />I love you so very much. Here's to moving forward and the adventure that it will be. :)Katalyst OfMinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869149411949391984noreply@blogger.com
