Making things right with someone...
My most recent heartbreak has seen a happy ending... one I can honestly say, I did not expect... at all infact.
I think it’s easier to walk away than face your wrong-doing... that’s my experience with others. It takes integrity regardless the level of wrong you committed, to admit and make good of people, what they bring to your life and regards to their feelings... for nothing more than love...
My brother has proven himself human and decent... I give him credit for making the effort to come to talk to me face to face and not letting an enormous amount of time go by, allowing more damage to be done than necessary.... he knew what he did was unkind... however, he did not know how much or all the dark places it went till I told him... after some time going over the details, my pain was clear... and his sorrow over the occurrence grew... It showed on his face..
I stood my ground as I do in such matters and drew my lines... but with grace and regard, he embraced every word and the moment was triumphant... How quickly the heart can mend when love is handled with such care and importance... When love shows up and stands above all else... It can heal even the most wounded of souls...
I hugged him with tears streaming down my face, grateful trembling words and thanked him for showing me the importance our relationship had to him... thanked him for admitting his wrong and coming to make it right... it meant everything to me... he wants to have a real family and real relationship, as do I... not one full of pain and constant heartache, being let down or full of empty words and hollow moments... but full and vibrant... He wants a true family... and he like I have always felt we never had one... so we need to count on each other if for no other reason than that... so we have a mission between us... and a common desire.
I can honestly say... I am happy to see genuine love from someone in this family... there may be hope for him yet... Facing me was huge. That shows character. Admitting and taking his licks... that took guts. He even said when he left; he was shocked I did not seriously knock him out... Truly.... he thought I was going to punch him on first sight. He just sucked it up and faced me... knowing he deserved whatever came... That’s courage… most don’t possess.
See I can always get behind that and it speaks volumes and carries so much weight when you can just admit you’re wrong and be willing to face it... He was sincere in many regards and I took reflection on that.
If he did not care or did not love me and I know he does, why would he bother? After all I am just his sister and he does not depend on me for anything, but love and merely just being his sister. So that apparently matters to him. It showed. I took stock in that... May seem small, but it had great impact.
Good things do come to good people.... OK at least for me... LOL!!!
Love is...
Being good to the people you love... It's lets them know you really love them. When you are lead by your heart, you can never go wrong...
Thank you sweet brother... you healed my soul!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
