I am a bit distracted today, mainly because sometimes I dont know what to think or do, I went to church and for the 2nd time in a week I found out someone is hurting , not grieving in grief, but hurting just the same
the first time I found out a friends brother who is getting a divorce, the family has 4 children, married about 25 years and its all going down the drain, the wife left the husband , and he's on his own and prefers him and the kids that way
the 2nd time, they have been married about 55 years, has 5 children also, he claims she never wanted the kids and has used him, he wasnt even sure if the first was his, now this is all coming out years later, yet they have been married, the family is taking sides
I think of my life with my spouse when we had so many years together and never gave up on each other despite our troubles, or problems, and how he died, I think how at the 25 th year we found out his dad was going to be put on full support on our anniversary, and only found out afterwards, I think how this couple has had 55 years together, and we only made it to our 33 , I would give anything to have had more time with him, and make it to another 22 years together, no matter what, and am shocked and dismayed at what I heard and distracted deep in though thinking of my life I did treasure with my spouse, this man who talked to me feels like his family has turned on him after he has provided, and to me it sounded like his wife wanted a divorce just because he was getting older and she couldnt deal with it, what I would give to have a spouse getting older...and slowing down, and maybe not even there all the way mentally, but still there in person...some people do not know how blessed they truly are and don't know how bad it can truly be.
