"A year goes by, and I can't talk about it
The times weren't right, and I couldn't talk about it"
-Flyeaf "So I Thought"
Well, it's been a year since I have seen my husband, ahem, ex-husband. It's crazy how quickly a year goes by. I wish, very badly, that I can say I don't miss him, but I can't. I swear at times the pain grows more overwhelming as time goes by instead of lessening (which I have been ASSURED would happen) The one thing I can say that is different now is "oh well". Of course I don't truly feel that "oh, well" way, but there is nothing else I can do for the situation now. As much as I still love Ryan and want to show him that, I can't, all I can do is say "oh, well". As time goes on it's getting harder to believe what I want to believe. As I was driving home from the doctors today (I have the flu wohoo)I was thinking about my life and when it was "normal" and I was a wife and had someone that used to like to see me every morning and night, when I was happy. Then I realized, that isn't normal anymore. It was another sad realization for me. It's been hard to see all my dreams of a family and growing old with someone who knew me so well, completely crumble into this mess that it is now. I'm not saying "ohhhh, woe is me, my life sucks" I'm just saying I really miss my husband and the life I thought I was going to have with him. ahhhhhhhh anyway...
I went to a funeral on Sat. The baby of a friend of mine died. He was born with a heart defect that killed him. It was so very sad. I wasn't so sad about the baby dieing, I guess that's because I believe he is with heaven with Jesus, but I can't even imagine the grief of his mom and dad. They were so happy when they were able to bring him home after a long 2 months at the hospital. It was a Catholic funeral, which made the whole thing even more sad because there are all these things that HAS to be done according to the traditions of the Catholic Church and it just felt like it was rubbing the fact in that this precious little boy has died. I wasn't so sure if I should have gone to the funeral. It had been a while since she and I have been friends but I just thought I should be there just to show my support, in case she needed another person to help with anything. It's so weird that at the age of 22 a friend of mine just lost her baby boy. I swear by the time I'm 25 I'm going to be read to die cuz I will have experienced enough stuff to make me like 60... well, maybe not but I feel that way most days.
Well, this is a bit of a sad post but on a lighter note I got my engagement ring back from the depths of the bathroom heating duct. I guess that's all I have today... I'm going back to the safety of my dreams now... being sick makes me want to sleep ALL THE TIME!!! gosh!

this is sad,I'm very sorry that you feel this way. I'm not going to bore you the typical "christian" responses, I'm just going to say that I feel for you, I'm here for you and some day, maybe not tomorrow; but some day, things will be different. until then KEEP DRINKING ORANGE JUICE, BEING SICK DOES REALLY SUCK!!!

ReplyDeleteWhen you love someone Jenna truly deeply, love someone, the pain of losing them from your life, that doesnt leave until you stop loving them. I'm not sad for you though, because some people go their whole lives never being able to love someone as deeply as you love Ryan and for me, not knowing a love like that is what is sad. Because even though he's not in your life anymore, you had that kind of love in your heart and that is an experienced emotion you will never forget. You will never forget how beautiful that felt, and you will never forget how good that made you feel. What is hard for me is to know that you ARE hurting, I wish I could take that pain away, but unfortunately pain is a part of life and learning. Nobody can or should set a time limit on when your pain should subside, or when it should get easier. That will happen one day in a flash and you will wake up and feel like your world is alright again. But that does take time. And time amounts for healing, they are different for everyone. I am sorry you are sad, but remember, you still loving him, after all this time, shows what kind of a person YOU are inside. A beautiful person with a lot of love in her heart.
I miss you girls terribly..
