Have you ever been close to someone and then suddenly they aren't in your life anymore and you're not quite sure what went wrong?
Despite attempts to rekindle that friendship or reconnect with that person, you always seem to come up empty handed...
At times you think it isn't worth your time to continue attempting to make a connection, you say you are done putting yourself out there when there is no reciprocation. You even get angry and bitter, perhaps.
But for some reason or another, you never do give up. They are always hovering in your thoughts, always showing up on your radar. You even try to avoid certain things so that the sting of that rejection can't be felt, but it doesn't work.
I believe there is reason a for that. I can't say what that reason is. I wish I could. But I believe that if you were one close to someone and you are no longer close but they are constantly in you thoughts, you miss them, you find you wish they were around; I think there's something to that.
Maybe it's better not to give up...
It's amazing how much ghosts in our lives can weigh. You had once told me that it was our job to love, to forgive, and that it is God's job to heal. Why that sometimes seems to take so long I'm not sure, but I just wanted to encourage you with this. Love you sis.
