Helping others discover their roots
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

You know I tell myself this all the time, but sometimes the words of those closest to you can really sting the most. But words are a gift too…Hugs

This is one of those times that I want a different option than “Like”. It simply does not fit and if words could comfort you, I’d be typing them now instead of these.
Your story here is not the first I’ve heard, but it did inspire me to try and capture a thought that came to me while trying to comfort another friend who found herself in a similar state of mind, with no real recourse to get to a happier place. I ended up offering her a more adult and less comprehensive version of this fictional story. The more I’ve thought about it, there is some strength available that I think we often neglect at such times.
Please give my new fictional essay a read and tell me if I’ve landed any where near reality.

thank you…i do know that…I know I dwell on the sensitive side of life, so when friends or family…people that I trust and admire wreak havoc, it rocks my world…literally….sigh…it’s funny my sensitivity can also be my strength when I battle for the under dog. But on another note, my sassy side has returned…I needed the break…and in the end…I did give him my two cents…lol…poor guy.

Did you also give him a healthy dose of grace or do we need to call the paramedics?

Words do have power, and, unfortunately, many people do know how to wield them properly. I am sorry that you were hurt so deeply, but I am glad that time is healing your heart. Blessings to you, Ann Marie.
