Nothing created
has ever been able
to fill the heart of man
God alone can fill it infinitely
St. Thomas Aquinas
You are still just as beautiful today as you were then, maybe more.
You have matured into a wonderful wife, mother, friend and creative artist.
Complete.
I'm reminded of the words of comfort in Ecclesiastes where it talks of things in life being a season.
We pass from one role to another.
We never have the same role year after year.
People come and go in our life.
Our parents come and go, as do our children.
Once we're passionately in love and a lover,
then we're a mother,
then a daughter again,
sometimes a lover, then a teacher.
People come into our lives for just a season,
sometimes for a reason.
As you can see from the influences around you,
this is not a rare occurrence.
No, you were not a cause of my divorce.
The divide between Donna and me was there
long before you were here and long after you left to make your own life.
You were a healing spot for me.
One that I have treasured throughout my adult life.
You are so special to me.
Holding on to certain memories and expectations prolongs the pain.
The past is gone, never to return again.
You're always growing and moving forward.
New aIr and freshness allows the wounds to heal.
Smother them with sadness and depression and the ache will never heal,
only grow and hurt more and more.
Do what's best for you.
A happy and complete you will make you more fun to be around and enjoyable
You know what beauty is.
I see it in the photos all the time.
Focus on the awesomeness of life everyday.
Goodness will follow you wherever you go.
