The Wedding

A mother holds her children's hands for awhile--
Their hearts forever.
This is a saying I have come to believe is true.
Since the day you were born I have
held your heart with both my hands.
Trying to make sure it was never bruised or broken.
It has been a job I have cherished.
Today as your hand is put into
your new husband's, I will have to take mine away.
His will now be there to protect you and your heart
But I will always have one hand left near
if you should need it.
In the past years I have seen the love
between you both grow and flourish.
No matter what life has put in your path
you have managed to either overcome it
or put it in its proper place.
Daughter, you are a loving mother
and I am proud of you.
You will be a good wife. Son-in-law,
you have been a great father
and I know you will be a good husband.
As you leave today as husband and wife,
my love will be there as an invisible hand
trying to protect you both. I wish you love, friendship,
companionship and many many happy years.
I love you!

In Love

You wrote, "I'll always love you,
But, I'm not "IN LOVE" with you anymore.
A part of me died when I read it.
14 years together and suddenly THIS?
What do I Do?
I can't think, eat, or feel anything but
PAIN.
A pain I can't bear.
I can't make it without you.
You told me he had NEVER loved so
Intensely or passionately.
Now you tell someone else that.
We were to share our life "Together Forever".
Now you want to be with another
Heart, mind, body and soul.
What did I do?
If you ever come back will I ever feel the unconditional
Love and trust again? Will I be suspicious all the time?
Will I ever be able to love or trust anyone again?
God I pray we get back together again
And the trust returns.
The fear goes away.
Please let him fall back "IN LOVE" with me.
You were my SOUL MATE.
At least I thought so--.
