It gets embarrassing in public. A few weeks ago I was in the hospital waiting to get a procedure done, and in the waiting room was a young man with his father. This young man was a spitting image of my SO. I could not help but stare. I almost called out his name. I felt he was so close, but I could not touch him. I began to sob. I turned my head so no would see, but I am sure a few people saw me. I have also boo hooed in the grocery store once down the frozen food isle.

Oh sweetie! I'm sorry to hear that. I know those feelings. And I hate to admit it, but when I'm on my cycle I'm already irrational, so it doesn't take much to set me off on a pity party because my love is so far away.

<<HUG>> (L) you can let it all out here, we understand how hard it is to be separated from your love.

Thank you so much for letting me vent and understanding me. :luv:

I thought I had already gone through the change, but who knows if it is hormones or truly just the fact that two years of this journey is just too darn tiring.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

When you see something that makes you nod your head and cry it is really a most valuable thing. I have been through the same emotions, yesterday my husband for the first time said he is having a hard time, he cried to see a pair of sandals I had left behind...when this will end, we do not know but really it is something that has taught each and every one of how what it means to love, to be a wife, a husband and most importantly, a faithful servel fo God. Even the darkest moment has a meaning.

I wish we all reunite with our loved ones in the coming days, weeks, and months.

You know what made me cry? The fact that somehow you got the message to send prayers for these two people who really have been through this for a long long time. I don't know how you did it, but through you, God is speaking to them. This is a true blessing. Please read the two accounts I posted, the one about the man and the the other about the rose. It really tells a lot.

Take my love and prayers

Tammy, it was God. He is real ! As long as He can use me, I am willing to be used by Him, that HE may be glorified.

Honestly,

I have always felt a good cry is good for the soul. It is a type of cleansing and removal and it allows you to vent the true feelings. (Lately, I have been wearing false lashes, the glue really burns, so I try to limit the tears. I cannot control it during worship services) sorry about my sidestep banter there, hahaha.

I never in a million yrs thought I would have found myself here. I have many emotions going on. I am not one who likes to share much, due to mostly having to hold up so many others. I am amazed at how far I have come along in this journey. I can only say that God truly knows what is best for each and everyone of us. The time is nerve wrecking

Think of the time frame as in paying your monthly mortgage. It comes around rather fast. Taxes are due very soon and I still have the documents to gather. Secondly, I do not have the house completely prepared that will take a yr in itself due to my pressing schedule. So before I know it and everyone else as well it will be over and our mates will be here. Just remember, how we could not wait for them to get here when you have that first dispute.

Also Destiny's Journey and Kesso will marry this Saturday March 8th. There's an example for us all to Look to the Hills from which all of our help comes.

Health and Wellness Always!!!

Health and Wellness to you always

May your life be filled with many colors.
