When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
There are many different responses to crisis. Most survivors have intense feelings after a traumatic event but recover from the trauma; others have more difficulty recovering — especially those who have had previous traumatic experiences, who are faced with ongoing stress, or who lack support from friends and family — and will need additional help.

Victoria, it's good to hear of your father's progress. While it is tragic that these things happen, it's important that the world sees we can not catagorize who causes these events to happen. Any and all of us are suseptable to the act of distraction. It's not "blood thirsty idiots" it's any one in socioty at any given time. It can only serve as a reminder that no one can let their guard down. Even an agent of our public sevices can do wrong. I hope the healing continues to bring your father back to where he wants to be with his life. Strength, prayers, and best wishes to you all. You've found a wealth of support and concerned strangers who will not be strangers long if you need them. Please let us know how things go. Get well, Gregory.
