#Because of Him I can love more fully
This is an update. My Biggest Little and hmmmmm....... I just realized he never got a nickname.........
I'll call him Strings...one, because he plays a guitar, & two, because he has one of my heart strings. OK,let me start again. My biggest Little broke up with "Strings" about 3 years ago. I cried long and hard that night because he was like a son to me. I knew her heart would heal and was sad for her but, my heart ached because I didn't know if we would ever see this young man again. His parents moved out of state, and he was going to live with them.
I know that they both loved eachother and just before he left he played a song on his guitar on the picnic bench in our backyard. I will never forget the feeling even though I don't remember the words.
I knew these two weren't sure what they were doing, pulling apart, they just didn't know how to see eachother in their future. There was love in his words and tears in her eyes. Some things are hard to do, even when you feel you need to do them.
Well, years have passed. She going her way. He going his. NO, they are not back together, this is not the ending of a love story. They are friends now. The first time he came back to see us....man, I can't believe this emotion I am feeling as I type. When he came over I hugged him, and cried, like a mother who was welcoming home a long lost child....I don't think he was expecting that. But, he does know, that because of him {and Him}, I love more fully and try to see past the exterior of others. God has greatness in all of us. This young man with tattoos and piercings is now an adult with more tattoos and piercing and that's OK. I don't notice them so much because I feel his heart. He is sweet, gentle and kind. Always polite and still asks if he can help bring in the groceries.
If we share our lives only with those who look like us, think like us, do like us, we will never share. Everyone is different. Everyone is great. Everyone has goodness in them. Everyone is a child of God.
I felt this was fitting when I read the hashtag photo challenge for today and just had to share.
Loving more.
from me to you with love -M
