Still Hoping for Hope

[missmyfriend]

Not-so-nutty (I like that too FH), Lissie gave you the standers affirmation that I keep with me in my journal so I can review it as often as I need to. Lis is an incredible stander and still stands for M. Lis, we love you!

NSN (the artist formerly known as nutcase), I am very proud of what you are doing. I understand your shock to hear your H say that about M. My W made an almost identical comment that she didn't believe that M was meant to last and felt that way as she walked down the aisle to say "I do". I know for a fact that is not how she felt back then because of our conversations about M before we got married. She knew what she was doing and she did believe in M lasting a lifetime. Your H has to convince himself that he doesn't believe in M otherwise he is conflicted.

Listen to a song by a country group (Rascal Flatts) called "Stand". It is an incredible song.

You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright

[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on

[Repeat Chorus]

Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
