Love's Quiet Release

I ask God "WHY?" He said, there is no "WHY"...there is only "IS"! The tears of love are painful, but memories are bitter sweet medicine to heal the wounds of the heart. He didnt promise He would change it...only help me accept it.

To let go of the hurt is important to the healing process. Dont try to forget...it wont work. Exercise the memories, re-live them. Enjoy them and use them to remind yourself it is a magnificent world, full of change and surprises. Nothing lasts forever, neither good...nor bad. Each time has its own season. Each person their own destiny. Life may not last, but neither does pain. You will see the tears of memory heal into your character, to become a lasting part of who you are. A memory for your soul to hold wrapped in love secure forever. You realize the one you lost helped make you a better person by teaching you to let go of the pain. You arent being disloyal by enjoying life...it is the way they live now...through your good memories of them.
