If Rules were meant to be Broken, Then why the Thorny Path? / Writing Blog / Horror Blog

Maria and I rolled with problems, if we encountered them in our life together. I'm not saying that we never stressed out, because stress is good, it keeps the blood flowing. I'm saying we always had a plan, and stuck to it. Whether it was raising our family, or personal goals, we always stayed the course of what we set out to do. 

We realized that when we raised our family that there are some souls of energy never meant to conform to a standard set of structures or simple, basic, rules. Those of our children who vacated our lives or have broken the tools we gave them, made the choice to take a harder route. There a lot of couples who have raised children. Those couples beat themselves up endlessly when said children decide to venture off and away, never to be heard from, except through others, again. We've had that happen.  We can't live life blaming what we've selflessly given. We can't live life through a dark place. We can't enable those who choose to not do, and ignore those who are doing. It defies all sense of logic. 

Maria and I have lived, we've loved, and we've experienced the loss of people we held close. We did all those things with devotion, with pure intentions, and will never regret what we have given. In life you can make choices to ignore blatant disrespect of those you thought loved you, or you can move forward by not doubting what you have done as a parent. We moved foreword. No matter what, we will always and forever hope the best and never wish ill on those who made the habitual pattern out of blame and couldn't hold themselves accountable. Our love is a never-ending ball of positive light, and we will cherish that light until we see it calling us home. That light is the flame that we will carry with us and continue to protect our ever, so small circle, of family and friends.
