I sincerely thank all 3 of you for taking the time with your insightful replies. One of the good things I have done is take my emotions out of it (well, at least in front of her) for now and have made it very clear that her health is my absolute first desire. I find myself in a good place, knowing that I'm doing the right thing, but I can't help but miss her and want to support her more. But, I do see that More means a lot Less right now, and only desire to be her trusted and platonic friend as she heals. With the Holy Spirit by her side and therapy, there is no doubt that we can have a future together as there are so many things I do love about her. Love is patient and always hopes, trusts and perseveres. I will be patient, I hope for her healing, I trust that space is a good thing for both of us (I'm learning about my part in all of this!) and I will persevere until a time that it is clear to me that we don't have a future for whatever the reason. Thank you all once again!
