Hope Lives on Through Genuine Love ♥

Did you ever have a friend, who you really loved being around and having had as a friend.  Then one day, everything seemed to go wrong between you and your friendship was torn apart.  After that, you somehow seem to hurt each other more over time… most often, inadvertently… all because trust has been damaged on both sides. 
 
All the pain that is caused between you, is not because you are angry with each other or hate each other, but rather, because you actually still love each other and really wish it was all the same between you as it used to be.  Well… that’s what I believe from my side… I could be fooling myself completely though, but it makes me feel better to imagine it’s all about TRUE LOVE ♥
 
Did you ever have such a friend?  I have two that I can think of that I lost along the way…
 
Two that I miss terribly… Emmy is one… I feel safe to mention her name here, because I have been able to let go of the agonizing hope… because I realized that holding on was futile… the distance of our friendship became too great due to the trust-damage caused in the split… but there is still hope for the other and I to reconcile… I haven’t given up on that friendship yet.
 
The love never dies, so the pain and the hurting goes on and on endlessly.  It’s far easier to be angry and to hate and blame and find excuses to cover up one’s pain… but I can’t allow that to happen from my side.  It’s more healing to see the picture from a kinder and more loving perspective… I feel more at ease, imagining that my friend might be missing me as much as I am missing her right now.
 
How does one fix it when both have wronged the other and been hurt by the other and that's broken the trust?  How do we get past all the hurts and the negative and intrusive imaginings that are created by the lost trust and hurts?
 
I honestly don’t think that either of us meant to hurt each other at all… we didn’t… but it happened… and now we’re stuck at each end of a dark tunnel of friendship lost…

This reminds me of another picture that I identify deeply with: "Love" by Alexander Milov
I wanted to post it here, but Weebly is no longer allowing me to post images where I want them to show... so it's ended up at the end... 
 
Pride must NOT get in the way… LOVE must rule in the end… LOVE has the power to heal all wounds.
 
Everything will come right in Heaven I believe… that’s one HOPE I still really believe in and must hold onto no matter what.  I’m glad I have a Heaven to believe in ♥ I KNOW have friends in Heaven.  When I lose my true friends here, I have hope that I will find them there again some beautiful day... if we can’t find the trust and love needed again while we’re here ♥ 
 
Happy Mother’s Day to all my dear friends… even my dear and still loved lost friends… and my own Mother who is lost somewhere in this world… England we believe...
 
Mom, Sharon and I will never stop loving you no matter how far you distance yourself from us, or what horrible memories from the past still haunt us… we will still never be able to stop loving you no matter what… we have not lost the “good memories”… I remember how we used to have those moments of crazy and uncontrollable, snorting-laughter together during embarrassing moments… like in the Dr’s waiting room… rare and beautiful moments in time… I haven’t forgotten mom and I won’t.  Until we meet again someday where all the painful and ugly memories will have passed away and Sharon and I be able to embrace you… our mom… for REAL at last ♥ We will be thinking of you lovingly this Mother’s Day ♥
 
I am grateful for my Greek-stepmother who stepped in where our own mother couldn’t.  Happy Mother’s Day to you too dearest Ma in Heaven… Thank you so much ♥
 
Thank you for sharing with me today and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms who read this.  Have a wonderful day and may it be filled with love. 

​If any moms are not feeling the LOVE tomorrow… write to me and when I’m home during the day, we can chat ♥ In the meantime, I send you my LOVE and HUGS for your Mother’s Day and hope it will make at least some difference for comfort in your heart ♥
