Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.
--Dr. Wayne Dyer

It's generally a struggle to let a child develop a new skill, particularly if it's not one we share or appreciate. It's even more difficult to watch a spouse or lover travel a new path of learning or recreation when we're not invited to share the trip. Yet assuredly, our love is only as deep and real as it is honestly supportive of others spreading their wings to discover their own directions and personal joy.

What is right for us will never be lost or taken, and that which departs, be it friend or lover, is only making way for our own next plane of growth. We must not fear letting our loved ones experience new and separate challenges. Instead, let's rejoice in the knowledge that we each have a particular calling, a unique destiny that has brought us together and will keep us together for just as long as "the big plan" calls for.

We can't keep someone's love for us when we've made them prisoners in our homes and hearts.

Nice concept HJ, But, speaking for myself, does not seem to
expand in both or many loves that came into my life. Have I
confused you? What I mean is my love for my kids and grandkids
is sometimes so difficult for me to grasp. Yet when my Creator
decided to take one from me, my ANGER side came alive. Took
me several months to realise love is brought into our lives
like a fine piece of china. Treat it with care and respect and
usually it will stay, be mean and unkind and mainly it will
break and never be yours again.

Draw a circle, not a heart, around the one you love, because a heart can break but a circle goes on forever.
