Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Actually, the realization is making for a somewhat tough day. I feel "stronger" when I get in the mode of 'I'll show her' or 'it's her loss.'

I have to keep telling myself that I signed up for this when we got married. I knew she struggled with happiness, that there was something missing. I thought I could provide it.

I know now that I can't, only she can decide to be happy. I have to psych myself up to be patient. I have to trust in the end of the story.
