If ALL of this hadn't happened, we would both have gone on the way we were and missed out on what we have now. I wish to God it didn't take this crisis to wake us up, but apparently that was the only way God could get us to listen.
I will always have to deal with some pain regarding this chapter in my life. There's just not getting around that. Probably even some anger and resentment occasionally. I am, after all, only a mere mortal. But that pain pales in comparison to the pain I would have felt had things not turned out so well.
