Todays reading was shocking to me, because I was faced with the fact that I have not completely forgiven the father of my children’s unfaithfulness. It ended in divorce. It happened when I was 50 and I am 89. I admire the woman I have become, and I wish him well. I forgave the first time, but learning it had continue with others was devastating. However the week before our court date I asked for us to work things out. He said No. He had two women who were waiting for him. I have forgiven myself, but the memories of this still make me sad.
I am 89, and I have had more than a few time to say “ I love you, I will miss you, it it is OK to let go.” Being with some one at their end time is such a privilege.
Happy Birthday. At 88 I can say the best is yet to come. I loved dancing in the rain as a child, and even now I have done it with thanksgiving that rain has come to our parched land.
Thank you for your reflections.
