to love another person

Is to see the face of God. This is the last line in Les Mis,which I have been listening to obesssively rhis week. I find the saga of loss and suffering comforting somehow.This story is so dark. And yet the characters find their redemption in the end. This gives me hope there could be peace at last, one day for me and my family. I hate this mess for me, but more I hate it for my kids. Patrick is hurting and for the first time I can't fix it. Mommy has no bandaid big enough to cover this hurt. So we trot off to the therapist and the psychaitrist is hopes this too shall pass. This will be a defining moment is his and my life. I need to be stronger than ever to guide them through this with as little damage as possible. I believe we are not given more than we can handle. So I have to hope God knows what He's doing. I sure don't.
