Comforting sounds

When I thought about my love life, I thought I would be with someone who made me feel like no one else mattered ever. I thought I would be with someone who had goals and aspirations and knew what needed to be done to get to where he needed to be. I thought we would share our thoughts and dreams of the house and life and children and endless adventures in our future. I thought I would be romantically proposed to with a beautiful engagement ring. I thought I would be led spiritually by a man who prayed for me and our children at every moment. I thought I would be with someone who understood love and forgiveness and placed his trust in the Lord. I thought I would be with someone who wanted to protect me and our children from harm's way. I thought I would be with someone who had hope in dark times.

This relationship taught me so many life lessons. I grew up with Danish and I've matured in a way I would've never imagined. I've learned that while I desired those things in someone I fell in love with, I too must strive to be those things to the person falling in love with me. I am ready and able - READY AND ABLE - but Danish does not want to give me another chance. And although this relationship is coming to a permanent end, I know my future is bright because I have confidence of being these things to someone new. Hope.
