He did the best he could…
The best he could…
Sometimes believing in a lie is easier than swallowing the truth…
Acceptance is a strange thing…
I always thought I needed his approval…his validation…
But…
I needed to accept the love he could give….
And the love he couldn’t…
The pain he gave…
I tried a long time to forgive….
Even longer to let go…
But I learned I couldn’t hold on and let love in at the same time…
It may always hurt…
There may always be a scar…
As the pain fades…
Strength and hope replace it…
Love pours in…
Fear falls away…
