That moment provides such clarity, and yet muddies things up so much. All at once you see the cause, the reason, the pain, the fear - you understand, you love completely, you forgive.

I am happy for you and a little sad, just like for myself. You are a thoughtful, kind, and compassionate women - don’t fear your feelings - own them.

Oh my goodness, as I was sitting a then kitchen table, just now, typing about understanding, and W walked by on the road in front of my house. I stand by my words - once you understand you love and forgive - completely.

Wow, it has been a cold and overcast weekend, with rain and snow, early this year. Just as I type the word completely in the sentence above, a small window within the cloud covered sky opened and sun beamed down.

That is beautiful. It is the absolute best you will be.

Feelings are fleeting.
Be better, not bitter.
Love the person, forgive the sin.
