So, So Grateful. – My Story

love stories primetweets

 

In 2019, I lost the love of my life so unexpectedly. I couldn’t imagine life without him. However, I had a son from a previous marriage who had been estranged from me since he was 4 years old due to a bitter divorce. My heart ached and cried out for him for years. I remarried my youngest son’s father. He was like a father, a husband, a best friend, you name it. Because my own father passed when I was 6 months old, I never knew what it was like to have a father.

I learned a great deal, not just about parenting but being a wife as well, through my beautiful and intense husband. When my oldest son was 4, he went to stay with his dad, temporarily. I thought this was going to be the biggest mistake of my life. However, I trusted God and felt compelled to do so. Those were honestly, the most painful years of my life and I almost gave up. My second husband was always very supportive and attempted to do what he could to make things better. His involvement though, made my first husband worse, and I would never permit him to use our son as a weapon to get back at me. So, I left him in God’s care and did the best I could to cope.

As my husband was in the hospital, I had no idea he would not be coming home. My youngest son relocated to DC for law school in 2016 and fell in love with DC and stayed. My older was now a father and had come to us, to be of whatever help he could. Long story short, I didn’t know his relationship with his daughter’s mother was in chaos. As my husband’s condition worsened, my elder son and his little daughter came to the hospital daily. My husband died after 19 days of battling for his life.

My son’s relationship with his child’s mother ended at the same time. He moved in with me and has been with me since. I can’t even explain the emotions that I have experienced! Do you realize the miracle of having my son back with me, after over 30 years? I couldn’t even grieve the way that I expected I would. My emotions were just all over the place. I felt guilty because I had so much elation for finally having my son back. Was this real? And not only did I have him back, but I was gifted with the most beautiful and amazing granddaughter in the world. When they were coming to the hospital to see her “papa,” she lit up the whole staff, they loved her. She even went with one of the nurses on a couple of her rounds.

I’m saying all of this to say, never give up on your dreams. God/the Universe, is faithful. The law of attraction truly works. I have never been happier! All of this took place in southern CA. Now, I live in Atlanta, where I now live with not just my son and granddaughter, but my other son went through a divorce, and is now with us! Omg, this is something we have dreamed about for decades. No matter how long it takes, never give up! You won’t regret it. And, it will cause everyone involved to be better. This new chapter in my life is awesome! I could not have written it any better.
