Hopefully this story belongs here. My best friend in high school started going to youth groups for a little while. I went with her a couple of times. But again, felt weird and uncomfortable in that environment.
She came and went.. but not too seriously. We were the partying types.
Then she married, had a child, divorced, re married. She had another child. I wasnt in touch with her much.
Then I heard her second child had serious birth defects. He didn't live long.
She started collecting angels.
Her mother committed suicide. More angels.
We don't share the same beliefs. She doesn't shove her religion down my throat.
She has done what SHE had to do to lessen the pain, I guess. Her seeing her family again in heaven trumps the fact her God took them away. (All for a reason, right? :rollseyes
It was how she chose to cope. I don't agree with it, I don't think I would change my mind if I went through something so terrible. But I don't mock her.
