I've told W many times that she was only enduring this heartache and pain because someone in the future would need to hear her particular story the way only she could tell it, and it would help change that person's whole world - maybe many people's worlds. I still believe that. I suppose I have some guilt to get over, but I also know that God always makes good out of any bad. Glory will be pulled from despair. We are already on our way out of this mist and into his beautiful light! Hugs to you, my friend!*Mandie*https://www.blogger.com/profile/15070273168959077565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6736876520313398869.post-4170170150607759362010-12-29T20:19:32.514-06:002010-12-29T20:19:32.514-06:00I loved reading this and am so thankful for W. Gi...I loved reading this and am so thankful for W. Give her a thankful hug from me. :) But please promise me that you won't feel shame about not seeing things sooner. We can never know the plan, but I have to believe there were lessons to learn for each of you through this that could only be learned this way. This stage is part of the journey you all were supposed to make. I can say this to you because I'm a person who has a very difficult time loving my path. It's not the path I would have chosen for myself, but I believe there is a reason I'm on it. Love your path and be thankful. There's no shame on that path. You all did and continue to do everything for W in your power. Love to you and your family. Thanks for writing this. It blessed me today!T.
