Hey just checking in on the blogging situation. Sitting on the side lines of a family that is getting good advice; appear to listen but actions speak louder than words. Romantically, I believe it may be more of a companion thing. Then again, the man does surprise me when it comes to that. I want to rush in and "save" him but I do love him and respect all parties involved, more of myself than others. The respect for the learning experience and a true healing experience involves those pangs of 'growing pains.' We thought they were bad as teens. Watching someone you love having to go through something you already have an idea, due to past experience with them, know what the result(s) are.

This is where true love and Godly love comes in. It hurts but in the long run the person will have a better chance of a better life if I stay out of it. I have been able to share what I need to about my thoughts, feelings, and position on things and that's all I need to do. The rest is up to others. Even a child must be responsible to a certain extent of the way their life turns out. My honorable responsibility as a parent is to help them through it with as many options that are available to them at the time of the decision making. If I do not want this position then I need to give that child to someone else that can objectively have that child's interests at heart. Isn't this the same with a potential life partner? Wounded or not, there is always room for improvement on one's self.
