Losing The One You Love

I've come to a realization - sometimes it's not only the person who is dumped in a relationship that feels the pain. When you accept someone into your life and come to think of them as family the pain of seperation is a lot like the sorrow you feel when someone close to you dies.

The ties are severed suddenly. And then you start to see little reminders around the house of what once was - of what may have been - and it hurts.

You even feel the same emotions. First sorrow that the person is gone, not in your life anymore and then the anger because you feel so helpless.

I can only imagine what our son is going through right now. I pray that he keeps his focus and doesn't end up getting hurt.
