that if you changed just once decision in your life how different your life would be? Or would it still end up the same just with different players?
I've been pondering this while sitting helplessly by and watching my friends lives fall apart. I struggle to find words that comfort, maybe bring a smile or just not sound stupid and trite.
I wonder what I would do in their situation. Could I even begin to cope? I wonder what Judd would do. Would we be able to put aside our anger at each other and do whats best for the boys or try to hurt each other through them? I wonder even though we've spend over 15 years together do I really even know him? They thought they knew their husbands and both got their hearts ripped out.
Ugh, I hate having to be so far away from them. I wish there was a pause button I could put on my life so I could go and be there. Even if there wasn't anything I could actually do maybe just by being there I could help shoulder the burden.
sigh.......

Sometimes all you can do is be there when they call. The anger is self-defense. It is so much easier to feel the anger than all the hurt.
Every decision is a pebble in a pond. Sometimes the rings go on and on. (I didn't mean that to sound like a poem.) You are a wonderful friend, wonderful wife and mother and an absolutely tremendously wonderful daughter-in-law! So please don't ponder those what if's. I for one would never get over feeling those rings in the water!!!!
J-
You are such a good and loving friend...it is hard to see our friends or family hurt, especially if we don't think we have the right words, but I know from personal experience that just being their (even if just on the phone/email etc) means the most... HUGS!!!
Knowing that you are here for me and will do what you can truly makes all the difference. My anger is not self defense. It is absolutel true disgust at what is happening to my kids at the hand of their father.....I have learned a great deal about humility as of late....love ya
