Love story : Dee and Dang

Sometimes, I’ve learned, in life, pain hides. It picks a place and parks. You keep thinking this is the source of your pain….

“Oh, I hate this situation; it’s unbearable!”

You go about your day blaming the wrong situation or source for your pain. One grabs hold of the first obvious thing and says, “It’s this.” When he does that, the pain continues, because, rather than focusing his energy on the real problem, he’s trying to remedy something that isn’t even the problem in the first place.

I think an added bit of wisdom is this: Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t just assume that the “most obvious” is obvious at all. Remember, sometimes, pain hides behind that. Dig deep, investigate, find the true source of your pain.

I’ve been guilty of letting pain hide…. of saying, “This is unbearable.” I’ve blamed other situations for my pain, when, really, it was something else.

What’s the true source of my pain? That’s easy….

It’s being separated from my darling Love, Dang. I am not whole without her by her side, or me by her’s. That pain is the true source of all the rest. I have identified it as the true culprit of my grief.

I like to think that I am a strong person. I like to think that I’ve scaled many high mountains, and I think I have. But, this mountain of loneliness I feel because of my separation from Dang is icy. I’m on a slippery slope, and I need saving.

I can only be saved by you, Mama. You have to throw me a rope and pull me up. I need you! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Papa loves you!
