Dear John,
I read again and again your story with tears welling up as they are now again. Impossible to believe...please intend it in the right way...it's not a lack of belief in what you say but the refusal of the heart to believe what the eyes read. And yet the heart feels that there is far more truth than it would want to believe. Thanks God the story has a happy ending. However painful going through those memories was, I couldn't help feeling that it is past. Yet the deep sorrow for what you went through brings me to give you my own personal story - or better of letting you know about a vitally important part of it. Very briefly. I have a son, well, an adopted son who was autistic and who with the help of God in the years has bloomed into a happy and full life. Adopted not in the sense that there is any legal document stating the relationship - it's a motherhood/sonship link of the heart. He is not only my heavenly family - my earthly one is not my heavenly one but they have always loved me dearly and I love them far too much not to strive till the end to make them part of my heavenly one - but also my earthly one - yes the physical bond is that strong...Now this son lives very far away from me and also for reasons that are linked to his chosen life path and not only because for most, if not all of my life- depnding on God's will - I am bound to my earthly family whose spiritual needs I feel have been entrusted to me. Of one thing this son can be absolutely certain. Should I, again depending on God's will, survive my whole family - my husband in particular - my whole life - is devoted to saving the money that would allow me to reach him wherever he is and be close to him. And this is why although I do feel a strong call to becoming a nun I have turned this call into praying for him for his mission which I know is touching many many lives directly and through the ones he touches. I am deternined to enter a convent but only if and when all my eartly calls have been fullfilled. A nun can't choose where to live.
God bless and with an everlasting maternal hug and kiss on your forehead
