you make me cry and you make me laugh at the same time
why won't you realize how very wonderful you are?
everyone else does.everything won't stop and you can't make it
your children will grow up, but appreciate the fact that you have raised them to be such beautiful and wonderful children. appreciate the fact that YOU have protected and nurtured them. it's no accident that they have turned out so very wonderful. they've learned by examplewar hunger and suffering i can't answer, but you've done such a good deed this week, can you not just be happy knowing that? you are doing your part. you are active (and wonderful, did i mention that?)
as for growing old, you aren't. you are only growing.
your marriage, perhaps you should focus more on that then? make it work. do what makes you happy dear. and i think your wife makes you happy, perhaps you just forgot that? maybe focusing on your marriage more will keep your heart from breaking?
(i'm searching for the right thing to say, and i don't search very often)
kid, you haven't pi&&ed away a good portion of your life. look back. you have amazing stories to tell. and experiences. i only wish i had that many glorious stories. that's one of your fondest points. you didn't waste time, and that's a good thing. actually, that's a wonderful thing. and i'm so jealous of you for that. i waste too much time absorbing ideas from others while you, at my age, were experiencing your own. and you don't just have "some skills" you have MANY skills. should i list them? i wouldn't want to embarrass you here on the board. don't sell yourself short, i don't. and i'm fairly hard to impress.
you are making a difference in lives. just because people don't say it (as they have problems in that area, not you) doesn't mean it's not happening. have i told you lately that you are wonderful? you really are kid. don't doubt it for a second.
today will be better, not tomorrow. believe that, i do.
