It's like looking through the wrong end of a telescope: I just can't see it clearly. I've been realizing lately that I've actually given up on finding that lovely spouse person. And that's odd, because it's been what I always wanted ... But here I am, one son grown, after I raised all on my own and he's really a fabulous young man :-) And then there are the young one's, 12 and 9, who do the one evening per week visit and sometimes one weekend day with their father, but I am raising them alone, and really, we are doing really well ... I am a great defender of love being all that is needed to make a family, and yet I do feel wistful, from time to time: I should like that lovely spouse person. But I seem to have come to a place of accepting that he's not coming.ellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16405706347896531257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24289631.post-5845125593296506472011-08-16T15:27:58.922-07:002011-08-16T15:27:58.922-07:00Dear Carrie, I wish so much you had a spouse to pa...Dear Carrie, I wish so much you had a spouse to partner with you, "have your back," help with finances, etc. I know little to nothing of your losing the kids' father - it is certainly his loss (unless he was abusive). You are an inspiration to me. I hope prayers of those who care will bring a little encouragement and make some difference in ways you need.Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17202537665732184737noreply@blogger.com
