i just want to blog about something that i'm sure all of you have had some experience with. LIARS. Everyone I know has been affected in some way when a person they loved lied to them. Now, I'm not going to play perfect here. I've lied before. I know it's wrong. But i'm talking about liars that build their whole lives on a set of lies. Like the person who lies and says he/she didn't cheat, but really did. The person who steals and steals from walmart and never gets caught. Someone who says they aren't gay when really they just don't want anyone to judge them, so they live their life in secrecy.
I don't understand what possesses someone to do another person so wrong. There are those that "deserve it" i guess. But most normal people that get taken by liars didn't deserve what they got.
Let me just talk about this. I have a very dear friend who just found out the person she thought she would spend her life with wasn't the person she thought he was. He was totally different. And we were close to him too, my husband and I. We loved him too. So we are kind of suffering a loss too right now, but not near as much as my friend is.
He had a totally different life that she wasn't aware of. He had been building a life with someone else, living with this person for almost the whole time, taking care of this person, buying this person things...the list is endless. The whole time, my friend was oblivious. My friend has ruined her credit for him, had been taking care of his kids, and they were honestly progressing under her care. She had gotten them on some much needed medicine and had them in school activities. And for the first time in their lives, they had their own birthday parties.
all for nothing.
it's ridiculous really. to even think this is real. i keep thinking that eventually someone will tell her it's all been a misunderstanding, but i know they won't. the truth is what it is. and by the choices he's made, he's lost the best thing he will ever know.

we went to our first PATH class. It was very interesting, enjoyable, but at the same time heartbreaking talking about these children that who have been through so much, but yet, are still continuing to go through things. Even fully grown, 18 year old children (or adults) still want their own family. I don't understand why more people don't help. These kids have been through heartbreaking things.
But we are on our way. One class down, eight (i think) more to go, then the homestudy.
i just wish we could fast forward. I am just so ready to get to the waiting point, where we are just waiting on a child. I am sure this is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done, and that we as a family have ever done, but I think we are a good family to do it. Yes, we have our arguments, plenty of them. But we are all there for each other and we are all wanting the others to be happy. I love my little family unit. I love it. I have been blessed greatly.
