Your post really got me straight at the heart. And now I understand why as it is based on a real story of your friend. My heart goes to him for not being able to find peace for himself. It is only when he does, the pain will be gone and the joy & love will overflow him.

But until then, it’s only pain, regret & fear... I’m afraid.
But thanks to both Daniel & yourself... being patient with him all this time.
