Sometimes you have to let a thing go. Sometimes you have to let a person go. This can be very difficult when you love a friend, or especially a child.
We invest a good deal of time on relationships, and then they change. Dogon it, that kid graduated from college and moved to Chicago. Dogon it, that person that was my bestie has drifted away and I don't hear from him/her anymore.
Yes, you will feel the loss, but you cannot take that out on them. You cannot guilt a friend to come back. You cannot guilt an adult child into living their life the way that you want them to. All that does is push the person farther away.
After all, it is their life. We cannot control everything and we shouldn't try to control people. Everything will not be to our liking in this life. The world is not going to align itself to make me happy.
Sometimes you have to let them go.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
