There's nothing like seeing my former situation played out in front of my eyes. Wow....

H's younger brother and his girlfriend are in town b/c they are getting ready to move here. There's 10-years between H and his brother, but they are SO alike it's scary. (Their sister, closer to H in age, is NOTHING like them!)

BIL is very serious with his g/f and will likely marry her. She a nice girl too.

BUT...

As we were driving around with them yesterday, H and I saw things that reminded us of us before the bomb. I was "interpreting" what g/f's actions meant, H was "interpreting" what brother's actions meant, and H actually said to me, "It's scary, but I know what you're saying (about g/f) is true."

They are going to have the same struggles...have to learn the same lessons...and our hearts just hurt for them.

Is there any way to share what we've learned to help them? Because neither of them is the devil...they are just like every other couple on the planet that has to work through these things.
