@ a Loss

You know today was the day my ex enters jail. I know I have wrote of it coming but as the clock ticked I found myself asking God to watch over her.

Still with everything that has happened and all we were through I can say that I have no ill will towards her.
No one could have stopped this from happening except HER.

It’s not owning it nor is it thinking that I could have done anything.
It is simply shedding a tear and feeling a loss for one that was in my life for such a long time.

I hope she stays safe and changes for the better with the path the lies ahead.

I think it's called compassion, Mr. C. :-) ((()))

-Thank you. I just remember all the years together.
How we danced on our wedding day and there were many good times.

Humans tend to loose sight of these great moments when stuff happens.
But I will always remember them and the girl I had them with.

As I look back on my life, I can see that good things always came out of bad things. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I think is great that you can hang on to the good memories without letting the subsequent behavior negate them. All our life experiences combined make us who we are today. You recognize that. Good on you!

My ex and I, for whatever reason, went to my best friends 40th birthday together. One thing led to another and......you know. This was before I was in recovery.

Anyway, it was hard. The next morning I realized that there were good times and good things between us.

I still think of her, and hope she finds her recovery too.

That is compassion....and we should be praying for everyone that has harmed us in the past or present....My mom who has been sober for 26 years always tells me to pray for the ones that you are angry with....not that you are angry.....
