I just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful posts. You are truly an inspiration to us all. I have gained so much knowledge reading your words. You should definitely write a book. You have a great way of putting your thoughts into words that truly inspire. I have had the same "stuck" mindset that Kev has an have found it difficult to really move on. Despite the fact that we're officially divorced. It's still hard to let go of all the good times, but I have come along way. I still have my moments where I keep on asking God why, but eventually come back around on my own with the whole acceptance theme and my mantra of "everything happens for a reason". Which reminds me of another version of the tapestry quote you mentioned. I read that "life is like a tapestry, from below all we see is a bunch of squiggly lines and threads from above God see's a beautiful picture of our lives" That metaphor has truly inspired me like your words to keep on "Truckin"
I also like how you explained how to pray. You pretty much spelled out word for word how I pray. I start w thanking God for all the blessing and gifts in my life then consistently ask for strength and guidance. I also asked for forgiveness in my heart towards both my ex and myself. I really would have wished at the time that my WAW would have wanted the same things I did but over time I have really learned to "thank God for unanswered prayers.."
Anyway, didnt mean to interrupt the "kid pile" on Kev. which is all unfortunately necessary based on the post and present mindset. I just wanted to take some time to acknowledge 25 and others for all their very heartfelt and helpful posts.
God Speed everyone! Kev. keep the faith brotha. The Lord does work in very mysterious ways. Take this opportunity to figure out why this is all happening. Use it to motivate yourself to be the best father/friend u can be.
