You are right about the fears and bad thoughts being a test of faith. My grandmother, who is one of the most faithful people I know, has always said that fear is the work of satan. He uses fear to rob us of the joy in life. I try to keep this in mind, but that awful thought of what if he leaves again is pretty powerful. I'm sure the negative thoughts will lessen with time, as you said. I just need to be patient. Thank you for your encouraging post. H is trying too, you are right. I can't let my fear of him leaving again overshadow the good things that are happening.
I'll be thinking of you and your family tonight and this w/e. Enjoy the game and let us know about the appletini!
