I asked myself if I would do it again knowing all this pain was waiting for me? Then, I thought about those moments of true bliss. Those moment of joy where I knew how blessed we were and how God had brought us together. I think about our kids and the love.
Someone once told us, early in our marriage, how lucky we were because you could just feel the love. I think our house is still this way. YOu can feel the love when you walk in the door.
And, the answer I came up with is YES. A profound "Yes." I wouldn't trade the pain if it meant losing a chance for even brief moments of that kinda love and joy. It was worth it.
I'm sorry my H wasn't the man who could handle that kinda love, but, even if he never finds his way again...it was worth it.
Love to you,
Heather
