Before Forever

See in life, everyone will let you down.
Your child, your family, your spouse, even I will.

But Love is forgiveness. 

Sure some things won’t be the same, but that’s life. Things change.

You forgive people for hurting you because you Love them. 
And if you say you forgive but never forget, well that’s not forgiveness. 

You have to accept that what you Love, what you care about, is another human being. Who makes mistakes; and won’t always know what direction they’re headed in. If they make the effort to be better & learn from their mistake, then they are progresssing.
But If you hold that against a person, well, then you have your own demons I’ll let you fight. And you aren’t going anywhere but one step forward & two steps back.

Taking time to heal, and make sense of your grief is perfectly understandable, but to dwell on it for too long is to destroy yourself & the other person involved.  

So as much as I’m the last person who should be saying this - Forgive & forget, because in that you will see Love in a new light.
