Tough night, I can't sleep. You see my beautiful bride was confessing to me that she was thankful that I love her even when "She's Stupid" (her words not mine). Me, I thought it would have been when we fought, or spent too much money, something light, I would have been wrong. For her, it is when she believes that she had done something to cause a separation between us and friends, she honestly feels like it's her fault. How can your heart not break for the one you love when they say things like that. About my bride, to meet my wife is to meet a true Desert Flower; though, tenacious, sharp, and seemingly thick skinned. But to truly know her.. ah, the difference is amazing. Like any dessert flower, the outside is tough, it has to be to survive. But get past the pricklies and the thorns, and you will see them most beautiful one of a kind flower. Not only it the dessert flower beautiful, but it is very fragile, not to mention that they don't bloom like your everyday run o the mill flower. Some dessert flowers only bloom once every four years. I love my wife more than I can put into words, to see her hurt makes me hurt. Do I wish I could change it for her, for me.. Of course, can I? No not really, I encouraged her, let her know that while we all make mistakes, at least we are learning from them. That and the last friends we lost was entirely my fault. (darn it, I still can't walk on water... maybe next time) Still doesn't change the wound or make it any less painful. I feel we should love others, ask for forgiveness when needed, and give forgiveness when asked.
To the friends we have lost, our deepest apologies, we ( I say we because her and I are one ) are only asking that you could find it in your heart to forgive us.
