OK..... ((Alffe)) I just have to say, you awe me with your insight.

I have been debating writing about this since the bridge incident. I have just been a wreck. I have family and friends coming for visits this summer... I can't think about how wonderful it will be see them... I can't think of the Hello, because I am already dreading the goodbye!! ACCCCCK

DAMN! I just couldn't even see that as the reason why.. but as soon as I saw what you wrote, I knew to my core, it was a fact. " You didn't get to say goodbye to your dad and now when anyone leaves and you find that you "get to", "have to"....it's a reminder." WOW! So glad I found the courage to write and ask. I hate admitting weakness

((Curious)) Thank you so much for your reply "Forgive the person, not the action. " I learn so much, I gain so much strength from all of you. THAT is a great philosophy curious!! Maybe this is why forgiveness is coming so hard for me? I just CAN'T forgive the action. Now, Now I will try to separate the two, Dad.. the man I love so deeply.... and the action. Thank you so much for that!!! *crying*

((Alffe)) I am glad you truly know God was right there with your dear ((Michael)).

I can't explain how I know this, how I can feel it is a FACT.. but I know for certain that Dad was praying to God for the strength he needed...to do what he felt he had to. I may question why God didn't stop him, but I never doubted... I have always known - God was right there with Dad.
