First off - completely missed that your son was home from Afghanistan! Hooray - Glad to hear he is safe.
I just loved this whole post. You wrote on my thread about you not gracefully letting go of your wife as well as me.
Reread what you just wrote....
You took the high road. You acted in grace and honor. You are loving your w when she is being very unloveable to you.
And you aren't doing it for show or for "props" You have chosen the high road.. because that is who you are.
What you wrote above is other people seeing that. Validating that all of those tears shed when you decided to be the better person. All the times you looked at the road ahead, wanting to give up, but took another step.
This post is the flower of the seeds you have been planting.
Do not take this lightly. Let it empower you when you aren't sure if what you are doing is right.
So awesome JS. If I was in your neck of the woods.. I'd buy you a beer!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
