Ma Petities,
your mama is sad today. I broke a vase that I had had for years and dearly loved. I knocked it off the counter when I was getting ready to clean it and it broke into several pieces. Armed with gorilla glue and a blow dryer I tried to put it back together again. For a while it looked promising, all the big pieces fit together and it was retaking its beautiful form. But eventually I came to realise that while all the big pieces were there it was the little ones that were missing that would make my vase whole and water tight again. As I looked at my once beautiful vase I got to thinking about relationships.
Sometimes in life we are the proud owners of a beautiful relationship. Then out of no where something happens that breaks that relationship and you love it so much that you scoop up all the pieces you can find and set down to put it back together again. You want to believe that something so beautiful could never be ruined beyond repair. you twist and turn the pieces, forcing them together, cementing them with glue in hopes that you can repair this treasure. However sometimes you just can't fix what is broken. Sometimes the breaking destroys the tiny magic that holds all the big pieces together. While you can glue the big pieces together your relationship will never be as strong or as water tight as it was. Glue loses its hold, cracks spread with time, and the whole relationship is a fragile imitation of what it once was.
When this happens to a relationship, its no ones fault. you both tried to fix things, neither one of you held back the magical tiny piece that would make it whole once again. While there is sorrow there shouldn't be anger at your partner. Neither one of you meant to break the relationship, sometimes accidents just happen.
Now I'm off to find a new vase to put my flowers in but I'll leave you with this parting thought. Are you trying to fix something that can't be fixed and if you are how long are you going to fight with it until you let it go?
