Recluse I love what you said, It is so true. When God takes something from us, he knows there is something better out there and what we have at a given moment is not the best thing. He knows and sees everything. This has happened many times with my mother, and many old relationships. For along time I was upset about this, but I know now it was for the best. The old romantic relationships I had were not good for me. I didn't realize it at first and kept going back. Eventually I gave up on them, and when I wasn't looking for a boyfriend, I found my wonderful husband of 6 years. And my relationship with my mother was always bringing me down. She kept coming into my life saying how much she loved me one day and the next day saying mean and hurtful things. It hurt for along time to try and cut her out of my life. But I know now it was for the best! And I know it was God's doing.
