The Path Not Taken

.

One of my favorite sayings is, “Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.” But I never thought that footprint would leave a scar. For some reason today I just need to write maybe it's the cards that I come across or the little things in each room that are reminders. It seems that all of those things leave me in bewilderment of the things that I believed in.

A long time ago a verse was read in a church, "and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." I always had these things faith, hope and love. Not only for the future but for my family and the life I thought was mine which was filled with love and fidelity. But instead now I'm left with a scar and sadness because even after everything I still have love.

Your told time heals all wounds and that things happen for a reason but then you wonder how that happens and pray that it will.

Today I hope that my boys and this sweet little girl with have faith, hope, and an open heart. I have to believe that through it all I can lead them on the right path and make it though each day with a little less pain.
