The Bubbling Up of Love

Friday 25 October 2024

Abandon Rupert Before He Abandons Her

A woman recalls feeling angry when she discovered Rupert would only come once to Mercy Centre next year. She recognises in this her own fear of abandonment, expressing how she wanted to abandon Rupert before he abandons her. Yet, in the depth of her heart, she knows that, no matter what, she still loves him. Rupert reflects, touched by woman's words, recalling when his son left home. He describes the palpable emptiness that fills the house after a child's presence is gone. Yet, he says, this feeling returns to peace; the relationship remains, the love unbroken, even as his son grows up.
