Especially not from their significant other.
But yesterday was not an "everyday" kind of day.
She was a former student, and as I lugged my 20 month old daughter toward the swing set to greet her, in no way could my mind (or heart) prepare for the devastating story I would hear in a matter of seconds.
I didn't have to ask. I just listened. And I think that's all she needed, really. Someone to listen.
The problem was a man who's really a boy. A man who put a ring on her finger and promised to love her and said "yes" to a baby...
And now his answer is, "No."
She said her life with a one year old is a road that goes up, way up, and then WAY down. She looked tired and done. Her deepest desire is to be whole, complete, a fully functioning family for her little girl's sake.
But he doesn't.

And I'm thinking, it's kind of like half of a merry-go-round.
Peace of Christ to you,
Cara
Wow!
