Ok Alone

God gave me a unique picture a few days ago. Was driving home and up ahead I saw a bird by the side of the road. As I got closer I expected it to fly away, it didn't. Then I saw why. It was a mourning dove (they mate for life) standing by her partner that had obviously been hit by a car... she (not sure why, but it was a "she" in my mind) was touching him with her beak - trying to wake him up, but it was too late. 

I said out loud, "Oh, honey, I'm sorry! I'm there too." (Who calls a bird, "Honey"?! Haha)

Many times in our marriage I had tried to warn T of the danger headed his way... our way. Most recently my warnings took on an urgency. But when he ventured out... got too close; it hit him and he could no longer respond to reason, to reality.

And then I felt God adding to my comment to her, "You will be OK, it will take a little bit, but you'll learn you're OK without him."

Needless to say, I had to slow down... hard to drive through tears.

Matthew 10:29-31
