Pain

Sometimes it comes out of hiding.

You think you are over it. You think you have moved on. You have worked so hard to try to forget it.

But pain persists. That deep pain brought on by a loved one.

Yeah, that kind.

It comes back up at an unexpected time, grabs you tight, takes your breath away, and brings those tears back to your eyes. Back come the memories, in excruciating detail, taking over your emotions and thoughts.

Take a minute, catch your breath.

Forgiveness and grace are not my strong suits, never have been.

Kindness, that is easy for me. That I can handle.

Forgiveness and grace I have to work exhaustingly hard at and then fail repeatedly.

Pain. Just. Plain. Sucks.
