Sheri had a light bulb go off in her head early this morning. She realized that she has a certain amount of guilt about wanting to enjoy even the tiniest part of life, without Bob by her side. Almost like she feels she has no right to do so, knowing that "Al" is not allowing Bob to do the same. She does not need to hear that Bob would want her to enjoy her life, she knows that, but feelings are just that... feelings.
Sheri promised she would be honest on this new part of her journey so there you have it.

Sheri, believe me I understand this, and it doesn't go away. But it helps to remember that not only would Bob prefer that you not feel guilty about moments of pleasure, but so would God. He offers them to you....
ReplyDeletePlus it would help to get some THERAPY as well. I am considering it with my Dad. Not in our control, life is short as they say. Bob will continue to drift in his own world..............
ReplyDeleteBob is being cared for, and you can afford it!!!
