 The Painful Parting
Back to Full Blog  

This correlates with my previous entry. It'll make more sence if you read the blog before this one, first.

When I see that smile on your face,
I know I’m in the right place.
When I saw the joy in your eyes,
It made me recognize,
My feelings for you, I can’t disguise.

Our most painful kiss, the kiss goodbye.
I would have never guessed the amount of tears I could cry.
Whether I leave tomorrow, or I leave today.
The pain I shall feel, will remain the same.
As I drive away, and our eyes meet once more,
I watch a piece of my heart fall off, bleeding on the floor.

We need to live our lives.
We need to pass the time.
I’ve come to realize,
I can’t make you mine.
It tears me apart to let you go
How I’ll get over us, God only knows.
It’s not just you; I’ll miss your family.
Incredibly.

You are inside the storm. At this time in your life you are learning so much, feeling so much and trying to make sense of it. Love, Faith, honor are among the great forces shaping your actions and thoughts. Your poem reflects this. All young men go through this. However, many including me, don't fair well. We stray from the path and it takes years to get back to where we knew we should have never left. Good luck and God Bless. Stay on the path.

Hi Daniel, Wow, lots of thoughts, emotions, and questions! First, I agree with another blogger, the "type" of religion that you each have is not as important as the fact that you believe in a Diety and that the two of you allow and respect the differences. My father was New England Roman Catholic. My mother was New England Unitarian/Universalist. That's about as big a difference as you can get I think. But they made it work. They were married until my fathers death in 1989. My mother still wears her wedding band and his too. Because of their religious teachings they knew how to respect the other, how to allow the other to have his/her own beliefs, and how to love. They agreed to disagreee on certain things in life. They shared thier lives and their love but not necessarily every part of their religions. It worked for them. Think about this Daniel. If the two of you understand that God teaches us to love, to respect, to do good unto others, then what differnece does it make if you go to different churches? Allow yourself some room for differences in this world. Learn from her and let her learn from you. Share the best and the worst. Finding the love of your life does not mean she will fit into a tiny narrow box of your perceived perfection. After all, the girl you love is who she is today partly because of the religion she believes in. And if she is truly that wonderful than the differences in your religions can't really be all that much of a deterrent.

Pictureman-thank you for your thoughts and comments, you hit the nail on the head. i am in the middle of a storm. I read that you have a few children in the armed forces, glad to hear they are safe and sound. You sound like a very intersting man, i too would like to travel the world. Thanks again for your insight!

Kellyj- Thank you for your input on my blog, i very much enjoyed reading your comments. i know it can work, haveing a marrage of different faiths. I see my mom and dad living it everyday. The question i ask myself is whether it's right for me. That is pretty neat to hear about your mom and dad. I totally think for some people, it is ment to be. The love your parents shared must have been increadable. That is awesome to hear how people can come together and share a common ground, yet still respect eachothers difference. I plan on going into music ministry, so my life is going to completely revolve around my faith. I don't know if i can have a wife who i cannot go to with everything. However "unmanly" that sounds, it's true. i want my wife to be my best friend, whom i can go to and share anything with. Idealy for me, i wouldn't have to accept differences in eachothers church. it would just be great to not have to make sacrifices of such a magnitute. pertaining to this question-"what differnece does it make if you go to different churches?" I want my marriage to be formed around my church. the love we share with eachother must go through Christ, which i think you'll agree with, what i don't know for myself is, whether that love we share must also go through the church as well.. "Finding the love of your life does not mean she will fit into a tiny narrow box of your perceived perfection." i loved that comment, so true..i think i might form that box sometimes when evaluating people..very good point made. "And if she is truly that wonderful than the differences in your religions can't really be all that much of a deterrent." you're exactly right..they aren't all that different. but they almost are when you break them down. True, both of our religion's revolve around Christ and the trinity, but the Catholic church is much more focused on the Eucharist and the Evangelical is much more forcused on the bible and applying it to your lfie. I wish i could take those two and combine em..then again, there are 30,000 christian religions out there, so i'm sure its out there somewhere.. Thank you again so much for your insight, it has helped me sort thoughts out..gracias Senora.

It seems that you are viewing your religion and her religion as only black and only white. Look for the grey. You will be amazed at how much three tones can do for your outlook in life. Best to you Daniel. You are smart, driven, and articulate. You will go far. If this is not the "right" girl for you than so be it. Every step on the road of life is a lesson to be learned. Enjoy those lessons.

Daniel, right now in your life you are going through a lot of changes, your worries for you little sister and a girlfriend as well as how you are going to perform in college what you want out of life etc... It is apparent that your particular religion is very important to you and the fact that you are having second thoughts may be your way of keeping a distance between you and your girlfriend. By the way the poem is beautiful. However, as long as you have doubts it really only matters what answer you get from your prayers. Once you have prayed together you need to pray seperately again. I thought I was to marry a man whom I love dearly and he too thought he was to marry me until we made plans and when he got to my house from Texas, we lived in AZ we both realized we just loved each other but not as a man and a wife love each other. Just a very strong brotherly sisterly love. A complete mutual trust and respect for each other's opinions. I did find the love of my life and my perfect companion as I continued on my journey. Had I not listened to my little concerns when I was alone I may have passed him by. So although you have a great deal of feeling for this young woman, don't make any commentments until you have absolutely no doubts. That way maybe she'll convert or maybe you'll convert or perhaps there is a perfect person out there for each of you and my personal advise is to keep your relationship such that you would not be embarrassed to introduce a wife to her or be embarrassed to meet her husband. Being young is hard. Guarding your passions is harder, but it is worth it. Good luck my friend. Beth.

Beth-thanks for the advice. Keeping it so that we wouldn't be embarrased to intoduce eachother to our husband/wife has been something that we have kept in mind. As far as the "maybe she'll convert," i have mixed feelings about this. If she decides to convert, i want her to do it for herself, not for me. I don't want to be the link between her and the Catholic faith. This situation would be much easier if she were to convert, but i want her to have the Christianity that fits her best. Which brings me right back to, "how essential is the religion* when you share the same faith*?" Thanks for your feelings and input, they're much appreciated:)

Daniel, at this point in the relationship, since your not engaged the religious aspect is not so important right now. However; it will become one if you choose to marry and have children. You as a Catholic have an obligation to raise your children in your faith and as an evengelical I would surmise she believes in baptism and not sprinkling. These are major issues. My niece married a Catholic and her children were sprinkled then as they have come of age (one has) he chose to be baptised into the LDS Church and he is very offended by his father's family reminding him that he is Catholic as he feel he was not given the choice. He is a very deep thinker for a 9 year old and is like a wise young man. He is working at a senior level in school, but is in the second grade. It has been very hard for my niece as she was not willing to be LDS until recently and now her husband doesn't understand why the change and all that comes with that. It is putting a huge strain on their marriage and I believe it will be the end of it. So if you chose to marry even within the Christian faith you either go to church alone, don't go to church at all or one converts. The first leads to confusion in the children, the second leaves them without spirtual guidance backup for yourself and wife and the third puts a family attending together. I know it is a lot to have on your shoulders right now. However, this is an issue that will come up again and again in your life. Talk honestly with Rachael and get her feelings on the subject. She needs to understand your loyalty to your religion and therefore you may come to a comprimise that neither of you expected. You may decide that it will not work or you may find a way to make it work. Love does not always conquer all. I wish for you it did, but a marriage is hard work; keeping a marriage together is the hardest thing that a man and a woman can do at this point in time. So many things are against you when you start. It is the struggles together that make or break the bonds shared. If it is approached in a way that both of you know that leaving is not an option it helps, but I will tell you staying with another person is the hardest thing you will ever do in your life. It is also the most rewarding thing you will ever do in your lifetime. I hope this helps some. Good luck my friend. Beth.
