Priorities
I just got the sad news yesterday that a friend’s husband left her and her kids after spending over a decade together. I can’t imagine. What changes people so much that they want to live apart after devoting so much to each other? (Exception: If there is physical or emotional abuse, get out NOW.)
Marriage isn’t something to be entered into lightly. Too many people do, I guess maybe because it’s convenient. It’s really hard on everyone, especially kids if any are involved, when one partner decides to move on…or maybe they’ve already been deceptive. That’s just the worst.
Some people are better off single, and I respect that decision. I thought I would be one of them and I was fine with it because I hadn’t found the right person. Just don’t get married because it seems like “the thing to do.” You hurt yourself and everyone in your path.
My friend is a beautiful person, inside and out. I know she will have a better life after all is said and done. She deserves it. I just wish I wasn’t thousands of miles away.
I’m thankful once again, because I really do think – no, I KNOW – that what Randy and I have is the real deal. I wish that for my friend in the future if she wants it. It’s never too late for love.
