Life of Job

BI43;
Thank you, I was inspired by the events of that evening. On top of all the trauma, drama, and tragic events of the last several months, we are now facing the death of one of our beloved pets.

We have been together for 14 years. He has been with us through several moves and three children. He has helped my wife accomplish some amazing things. He has always helped maintain order in our sometimes hectic lives.

As we come to the end of his life, his presence is already missed.

As a result of this, my wife was quite emotional last night, and we sat for a long time just being together. The pain and sense of loss was obvious and several times I just reached out and touched her or hugged her. When I spoke it was from my heart. I would NEVER had done that a few weeks ago, I would have been thinking about how that would effect her, how she would respond to it or not respond, what she would think if I just hugged her.

I can do it now because it is the person I know I want to be, her response to that is just that, her's.

BTW, I enjoyed the Habakkuk reference. Your own translation, or The Messege? Really inspirational from a book many see as containing only wrath and condemnation.
