Love and trust are two things that depend on one another. If one is lost, it pulls the other down into the abyss, no matter how sweet and intoxicating the world of butterflies in your stomach may be, or how easily it can make you overlook so many things.

Forgiveness is the only way to keep despair at bay, to protect one another, and to give those wounds a chance to heal—even when it is incredibly difficult.

Thank you for your devotion.
