Thanks so much for the prayers and for helping me to see the lesson that I needed to learn in this situation. You truly helped me so much.

...But when I stepped back and took a closer look at the situation I saw that he is feeling angry and sad because of what is going on in his life.

...There is nothing I can do right now for him except let him know that I will be here when he is ready to talk and then pray for him. Please pray that God gives him the peace to have courage in the storm. I'm so sorry that he is going thru so much pain. I am going to back off and give him some time to be with the family right now and not call him for a while. He will be in my thoughts though. It is hard watching someone you love go thru so much pain.

Thank YOU Angel.....I really needed to hear this today too. My A is going through a lot in his life right now and it is really affecting our relationship, or what's left of it. He's in a lot of pain himself now and you're absolutely right, the only thing I can do is just be here, but step back and let him go through this on his own. None of it has anything to do with me. I'll pray for your friend if you pray for mine. Hopefully they will both find the peace they need soon and relief from some of their pain. It is terribly hard to watch someone you love suffering, I've certainly done enough of it lately.

Your words were just what I needed today....see, you never know whose life you might touch. Thanks sweetie...... Love, JP
