Time

 "This experience has marked my life. I am never the same. Suddenly I feel as if my heart has been torn apart and it is going to take a long time to heal. I will take this time and be gentle with myself. I will entrust myself to Jesus, the friend who never fails. He alone can heal me.
I hope that when you read this, you will be okay.
Take care always and remember, especially in your difficult moments, what an amazingly strong woman you have become." 

I wrote this to myself a year ago. I don't even remember having written this letter to myself. As I read and re-read every line, it dawned on me how time is a great healer.
I am okay now. In fact, I could say that I am in a good place.
But I had to respect the law of time. Time is its own rule. It cannot be hurried. It cannot be brought back, nor can it be anticipated.
And it turns out that what I wished for myself a year ago all came true.
But it took time...
