When we are three years old, life is a wondrous place full of
innocence and love. When we are, three we are embarked on our journey that perhaps is
predestined, or is it already paved by the lives that came before?
I am not so
pious or wise to think I know the answer, but what I do believe is that we all
do the very best we can.
Sometimes our very best is unacceptable in the eyes of
the ones who love us the most.
Today, if I could beg for anything from the universe, I
would ask for acceptance for those whose path I am unable to understand.
I would ask for the
ability to forgive those who could not listen to my pleas to travel a different
route, a smoother way.
I would ask for understanding, which seems nearly impossible
when I have not followed on their path.
Today, I beg for it all, acceptance, forgiveness and understanding,
in memory of my granddaughter, Jessica Shows, who at the age of twenty-eight ,succumbed
to her difficult life in which she described, “there are no good stories.”
May you rest in peace, Jessica, with my acceptance, forgiveness and
understanding.
Judy, My heart goes out to you. Thank you for sharing this deeply sad story of your granddaughter, and your uplifting acceptance and forgiveness.
