Not all married men will experience the excruciating pain of being left by their wives for another man. I don’t know if I could survive losing someone I shared my vows of forever with in a competition that is never fair and will never be justifiable and acceptable.
Not only have you lost your wife but you may have also lost your kids to a man who could be their dad but can never be their father. I know there were no words that can describe how bitter it was to see them go, but, you have allowed love to rule over hatred and humility over pride. You were able to say goodbye in a manner that was truly that of a real gentleman. You have lost a fight but not the battle. You have lost your family but you haven’t lost your faith that you have built your life upon.
It is true that God allows us to be tested at times when we are most weak and in places where it hurt them most. Job, in the bible, lost his family, his wealth, his health and almost lost his own life. But he never lost hope and God saw how he stood firm in his faith. He was rewarded a hundred fold after surviving the most difficult trials in his life.
It has been years now, and your children may already have families of their own, too. You haven’t stopped loving them and I know you never will. You will always be a father to your son and daughter. That’s the way it is and will always be, in the eyes of God.
There is life even after we lose those we love, that there is forgiveness even after we have been badly hurt. That God will keep us intact when we feel like breaking apart and that HE will take our hands when we are just about to give up.
