Actually, not much today. H gets home in an hour. I bought him a "going away gift" over the weekend. It is a small stone inscribed with the words "My wish for you is a passion to enjoy life". If H can't/won't enjoy it with me, I hope he can somehow find a way to enjoy life, even if it is without me.
I was also going through my music collection and found two really interesting songs for two very different reasons.
The first "We Build" would be perfect for Retro (don't know if Sara will check in, she is the retro girl!) I believe it truly states what must be done to save a marriage, and it made me think of what Kalni is going through:
Nichole Nordeman \ We Build
It's bigger than we thought It's taller than it ought to be This pile of rubble and ruins
The neighbors must talk It's the worst yard on the block Just branches and boards where walls stood
Did it seem to you Like the storm just knew We weren't quite finished with the roof When it started?
So we build We build We clear away what was and make room for what will be If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder If you will, then I will, build
On any given day We could simply walk away And let someone else hold the pieces
The lie that we tell Says its better somewhere else As if love flies south when it freezes
What I'm trying to say In some clumsy way Is that it's you and only you for always
What I'm trying to say In some clumsy way Is that its you and only you, not just for now, not just today But its you and only you for always
It is so beautiful to hear, if you can find it online guys, listen to it. It says so clearly that it takes two to repair the damage of a broken marriage....
