Patience

My girlfriend spent almost twenty years loving a man who disrespected her. She permitted society, her family and friends to give her an excuse to remain in a heartbreaking relationship. But, when she finally accepted that she deserved better. That she deserved respect. That she deserved honor. That she deserved love. When she finally realized that true love never fails she figured out that she could move mountains. Tonight, as I sit reflecting on my week and sipping my Solo Soy Cafe Mocha Tall, I'm proud that I loved her through her confusion, pain and doubt. I admit I often lost patience with her but was reminded that she would do what she had to do when she was truly ready to do it. This week she decided no threat would continue to steal her happiness.  This week, she patiently and lovingly took her life back. She is now a single woman and she is sincerely estatic about it!
