Chicadee and Sparkly Eyes decided at end of summer to cancel the wedding and end their relationship with each other. They are young, strong and ready to tackle the world, but this really took the wind out of them. I have cried for them and with them. I continue to pray for them. Although, Sparkly Eyes is no longer a part of our family he is still a cherished son. I know his mother loves him deeply and aches for him as I do my daughter. I hope this experience helps him grow into the better man he will become. I see my daughter strong but lost for a time. She will as her heart heals gain perspective on this experience.
This is OK.
They will grow.... and move on.
Someday they will look back and see the life lessons learned and hopefully be better for it.
I would love to make it all better for them, wrap a bow around them and stuff them with sugar cookies but it is not my place. I learned this lesson at Time Out For Women last weekend.
A dear sister paralyzed from a tragic fall spoke about how her brother had prayed for hours to the Lord wanting her ordeal to be taken from her so he could bare it for her. His answer came as a reprimand. He wasn't to take away from her the experience or the things she would learn from it.
This sister testified of how we gain the blissfulness of joy only after feeling the heartache of sorrow.
With the many challenges Chicadee has been through in her life and those she currently deals with daily, I can't help but think of the amazing woman she is becoming.
