well 2 years ago

unfortunately this particular goal is heating up again. i am back in the situation of having to make some very tough decisions that i don’t want to have to make and it kinda sucks….



decisions 2 years ago

oh i have decisions to make about this goal. they’re are hard and not easy to grasp which are the best.

i really need some thoughts and prayers for guidance on this one.



sigh 2 years ago

sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh. this situation was not easy. and of course, me, the one who did nothing, is going to have to be the bad guy and take responsibility for the hard decisions that had to be made to keep the kiddo safe and stable.

well, i guess he places the burden on the shoulders of those strong enough to bear it.

good and truth will out eventually, i believe that.



i wish sometimes 2 years ago

that my counterpart took her version of this goal as seriously as i take mine.

part of achieving this goal is to realize that that is completely out of my control and i have to focus on me.



this goal is not always easy 2 years ago

sometimes we have to make decisions for our kids that we know will make them sad in the short=term to keep them safe and make sure they are okay in the long run.

making those decisions is never easy.



it looks like 2 years ago

the situation may work itself out in absolutely the best possible way given the circumstances.

i am very grateful that i am today, the kind of person who can put personal feelings aside and focus on what is the right and best thing to do, and then not be scared to follow through on it.

those qualities, i think will help me in being the best dad i can be/



choices 2 years ago

it’s also tough when the choices are all hard and none of them are really clear….



sigh 2 years ago

it’s when they are suffering that this is the most critical.



right nowq 2 years ago
