Live and Learn..........

So I'm sure we have all done things we wish we could take back or make right.........well I feel very blessed because I was given the chance to make something right. I knew I girl from high school and she dated my boyfriends brother, she went to a different school etc. We dated the brothers for years and did alot of thing together camping at the beach, mountain trips etc. and the whole time we disliked each other. Could we tell you why? I don't think so, I try to think back and for the life of me I can not remember..........how silly we could have been friends but instead we spent our time together avoiding each other and making everyone around us uncomfortable. I tell ya high school is so crazy if I only knew then what I know now my life would have been soooo much easier. I think it is so unfortunate but thru a friend yesterday I had the opportunity to set it free and we e-mailed each other and have forgiven each other.......what a great feeling.
I strive to try and do right with the things I have done wrong if given the chance and I am very thankful to her for the forgiveness she has given me. So to Michelle I say thank you so much for being so gracious.

I don't think anyone who hasn't lived with hurt and anger for a long time, the kind that you hold on to for years, quite understands how earth-shaking and life-altering it can be when you have peace, closure, and forgiveness come your way. I am so happy for you Julie. I always look at these awesome tales of life as great real-life lessons to share and explain to my children when they are ready to hear them, so one day, if needed, they can reflect back on those words find strength to pull them through their tough times... which will unfortunately inevitably happen in some form.
