Dreams are meant to be lived happily otherwise it was just a bad dream! Treat it like that!

I just spent last week with two of our widowed friends--both the husbands were fighter pilots and we were all together in the squadron which is like one big family- our home away from home!
Overnight all their dreams turned sour due to the evil hands of fate-Air Crashes while training. RIP. One passed away in 1984 when the wife was just 25 yrs old with two children - one 3 yrs and the other 11 months old. The other lost her husband in 1987 and was left with again two children who were a little older but both families were overnight removed from our safe haven to fight the big bad world. The children are now grown up, married and well settled --a real support for their lovely Mothers who fought all the odds to bring them up to be lovely human beings! But the two lovely ladies have not moved on themselves...they are still living in that idyllic dream they had spun many years ago. As a result they are lonely and what they lack is companionship. I had to be very firm and tell the younger one who is exactly a decade younger than me to the day to not block her mind to accepting someone to share all the little pleasures that life throws up! (Sadly the elder one has cancer hence we had the get together!)

So Saima dear you must move on too because dreams are meant to be lived... too soon for you but keep an open mind...things can only get better! and little Zainab is there to delight you at every phase ---till she flies away! because only if you let them fly do they come back!

Love you and hugs...

Thank you so much Api, for sharing that and for your kind words.

ChocoBerry sent me something so true and very beautiful

'When I'm worried, it's usually because I'm trying to do everything myself. When I am at peace, it's usually because I remember that God is in control'

I think we should all have more faith and leave things in a His hands, he is the best planner of all

Lots of love to you
