I just discovered this site. I love your story and I am going to cut and paste it into a word document and save it on my desktop so that I can read it often.
Someone on this thread talked about it being a God Stop. I just finished a bible study by Beth Moore called Believing God (wonderful inspiring study) in the homework there was a place for God Stops. I love that term and this is surely one of them.
Hope all is well and you have a happy and prosperous New Year.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
Stopping by to wish everyone here a happy new year!
May the new year be blessed with health, happiness, smiles, laughs, adventures and hope for each of you.
I hope you take time, tonight and the weeks to come, to look back and find all the wonderful ways you are proud of yourselves. This has been one of the toughest rides for nearly all of us in our lives....the fact that we are still alive, thriving, raising kids, working, being friends, siblings, children and parents - is amazing. Be proud of living life....and living it well.
Your posts have been a constant source of insightful thoughts and this one was so appropriate. Thanks for all you have shared with so many here. It is wonderful seeing you pull through in such great shape. You sound ready to conquer a whole universe in the coming year.
A14, our paths separated when we shifted gears and left piecing. You've certainly been thru MLC hell. I've read that your day for D is coming next week. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as I have since our first posts. Best wishes and (((A14))).
Have you moved yet? or plan to and let us know where you replanted?
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
