[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 740273, member: 19522"] Hi NatureIt was a brief moment, and it was lovely yet sad at the same time. I will hang on to that hug and hope that it is a start. A spark. I believe we all have that spark and seek meaning to our lives. You already are, Nature, thank you. Thank you Nature. I am trying to separate my emotional reactions with these encounters. I want to make it just another Tuesday, like it is for them. I am working on being thankful for the time I had raising my two, recognizing their capability to pull up and out of the choices they make. It is up to them to fan the spark they were born with. I have absolutely no control over this. Trying to channel my dad and his stoicism, but at the same time, have hope for change. I realize I cannot base the rest of my life on whether or not this happens. Life is too short for that. I would not wish this on anyone as well, but we are dealt with the cards we are. The challenge is, how do we use this as a teachable moment for ourselves? What are we supposed to be learning? How do I turn this around and use it to grow and find my own purpose? It is a work in progress. I have a long way to go. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
