Dear Colin,
At the time that your mother and I were breaking up, I was having a lot more problems with my medical condition than I do today. After your mother took you to your uncle's house to live, things got a whole lot worse for me for a while. If you think that you have suffered because you didn't have a dad growing up, you were not suffering alone all that time. It might not make you feel any better about yourself; If I say that some people have had much harder lives, but I can promise you that you are loved and that should make a difference. Some of us never had the opportunity to know one or both of their parents for one reason or another, but it shouldn't prevent them from finding their own happiness and success. If you understood how much God loves us, I know that it would make all the difference in the world, knowing this has made a difference for me. We may not get to live here on Planet Earth forever, but I believe in the durability of the human spirit. I believe that it's God's will for us, simply to make us survive and endure forever; but of course he never has guaranteed that all of our experiences in life would be pleasant. If modern science has taught us one thing of value about the Universe that we live in, it would be that there is a whole lot more to manifestation than we can perceive. The mysterious hidden stuff of creation is as much a part of us as this flesh and bone of which we are so familiar, it's a proven fact. I think that we will both survive long enough to spend countless more hours together in conversation and in work and in leisure. Sometimes we have to wait for our happiness, often it seems to depend on what other people do or think of us, but mostly it depends on our own opinions. Knowing that we are and have been loved, and that our time is unlimited can make us very stoic. It's a solid foundation for us to stand on and face whatever we need to face, and to defy other people's opinions. In the long run, the truth is whatever it is despite how we believe it to be. Reality can not be bent out of shape just to better suit our desires. And we are a part of that reality forever and ever, we have a place here and now and this Universe has a way of remembering itself, of course that includes a memory of all of us. I hope that we can continue to learn and grow together, if God guarantees us nothing else, he guarantees that we will always have peers and companions no matter where we go. We are never truly alone, the vast distances that separate the stars from one-another is meaningless because Unity is fundamental to everything. There has been 14 billion or so human beings that have ever lived here in the World, and we will be able to find a few good friends among them. Each of us is a citizen in God's Kingdom today, no person place or thing exists in separation and In the Great Game of Life, everyone who plays is a winner, including you!
