This is really gonna hurt…
“This is really gonna hurt.” I remember thinking as I laid alone in bed listening to him snore on the couch. And boy was I right. Because it’s in the moments that we’re walking away that I remember how deeply I do love him. But love didn’t get to be enough in the end.
We’d created beauty together. Brought life into the world and watched it grow. Loved long and deeply.
But some things weren’t made for forever. Some dreams can’t last. Some tomorrows are sooner than we hoped.
And through it all, we hold on. Love wasn’t enough, but love will always be. As we watch our babies grow and our dreams come to life. Love made them, and so love will go on.
It’s really gonna hurt, and it has. But ends aren’t always final, sometimes they’re just the end of a chapter, or a book in a series. Tomorrow will bring the next page, and through it all, the pain, the joy, the memories… life and love carry on.
