He continually encourages me to nurture friendships that can have longevity and ever present support now. For me to do those things means his life is even more alone. It is a two edged sword for me, but I know if development doesn't happen now I will be alone in the future.

I commented last night, but it's not here. :(<br /><br />So, here goes, one more time . . . <br /><br />Barbara, I'm so sorry about the events of this week. And the shame that haunts when things go awry. I could tell you not to feel shame. But, that doesn't stop the feeling from slithering into your thoughts. <br /><br />I am praying for you guys. That God will give you eyes to see your situation through His grace, to turn the condemnation that some may insinuate back on it's face. I'm praying for all kinds of strength for you, and for Andrew. May you be able to see the pleasure God views you with. He is delighted in YOU. <br /><br />I'm praying for you both this weekend.

Even though you're stuck with all the work, and your situation must be horrendous, I hope it's helpful to know he still loves you and wants what's best for you. As my college psych professor said, "When the happiness and well-being of another are essential o one's own happiness and well-being a state of love exists." I pray for both of you every day.Janet Ann Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234310280477491538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4095822388315899381.post-51007854732607728782018-02-16T10:27:05.201-08:002018-02-16T10:27:05.201-08:00Thank you for bearing your heart.

When I would dress in crappy clothes to take him to the doctor and see other women there with every hair in place, looking patient and cheerful. These are minor examples compared to what you are going through, but my attempt at telling you how much I relate. Sending much love.
