Faith
I have a friend, she has this unbelievable faith. She shouldn't have had it. God knows that life crapped on her and hers repeatedly over the last couple of years. I think a lesser woman would have buckled.
She's not religious, never has been so far as I am aware. Her belief is in the man she loves. It is unwavering. It is steadfast. It is the essence of her being. All you can do is believe with her, because there is no other option.
She is quite possibly the only person I know who is more socially inept then I am.
Her saving grace is her man. He makes her gentle. He makes her loving. He believes in her, so she believes...
And what she believes in, is him.
I think perhaps that the hardest times in their life may be coming up on them in the very near future.. when the fight is finally won and life now is supposed to pick up and just be wonderful again...
Of course it won't happen like that.. there will be issues to be dealt with... hard realities and regaining control of your life are adjustments themselves.
But I have faith in her.. and him. So long as they can hold on to that belief in each other, I'm sure they will come out on top of this final hurdle...
