Should I be trying to restore a connection with her so I am not distant or maintain my opportunites ave done? He gives me the strength in each of the past situaitons to be compassionate and caring. He is also giving me the wisdom to not overreact and try too hard. I am softening slightly only because if I don't I cannot forgive. I hope to hear more from you. Forgiveness is a very hard lesson. I am learning it. I cannot accept the situation, but will learn to forgive it. I know she is looking for happiness in her life, she will not find it where she is. Hopefully she looks back to me and sees that happiness is found in those who make you feel happy about yourself.
