Ten years ago, I was …..
…
Well, life was more beautiful and much easier.
Things have changed!
War or terror… I lost friends, family members, and properties. I lost a lot of my beautiful memories. I have close ones that I see their sorrows yet I’m not able to offer a lot of help.
Responsibilities with distance… I have no much time left nor do I have the required power!
My heart, prayers, and thoughts are with all who are suffering (including me).
Is it shameful for men to cry?!
P.S., I’m sorry, Linda. I started this post with an intention to write something for you, my dear friend regarding your loss. Rather, I found that I’m writing about myself and about this life.
There is never shame in crying. It shows we are human. Peaceful blessings, my friend.
Thank you very much, Dorinda, for your kind words. They are very lovely, as lovely as their writer.
Thank you very much, Mohamad 🙂
It’s not shameful to cry. Crying is a healthy release of emotions.
Yes, they are…. especially when we can’t help it. Thank you very much, Franci, for your kind words.
So much loss and tragedy and so many of us are powerless.
Tears are prayers too, they travel to God when we cannot speak.
My thoughts go out to you! :'(
Thank you very much, my dear friend, Ally. Yes, I trust that our tears are prayers too. I also trust that there is a God to take care of us all the time… I totally appreciate your kind and encouraging words.
I will keep praying Mohamad. God didn’t say that we would have no suffering, but He promised to always be with us, even in our very darkest hours. I can say that I have felt God’s comfort in dark hours.
I couldn’t agree more… 🙂
One of the great injustices of life is being raised that Men don’t cry. My folks always said it made you weak.
It wasn’t until I learned to cry that I realized how strong it really made me.
I know, William. It’s not an easy or common thing in our society. Yet, it’s very helpful, at least when in privacy. Thank you very much my friend for your encouraging words.
I nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award! https://mamaunrated.com/2018/02/20/the-versatile-blogger-award/
Thank you very much, Kayla. This means a lot to me 🙂
