I was your brother Anakin! I loved you!
I found out today I got accepted to BYU . . . not that I'm really that surprised, but it was nice to know it was official. :)
What do you do when you can see the downfall of your friend slowly creeping up, and yet there's nothing you can do because he or she won't accept your help anymore? What if you accidentally hurt him or her, and you still care, but the trust is gone? What if you did the wrong thing for too long, but you suddenly came to your senses? What if you scared him or her away but are ready to stop being a moron? What if you'd do whatever it took to help him or her, but he or she is listening to the wrong voice?
Maybe if I had acted differently things would be ok. No, I didn't do anything heinous, but words are enough to ruin lives.
I'm not the only one at fault, but I still mourn for whatever responsibility I might have for causing this situation. The worst part is that my efforts to help in the future will probably be misinterpreted as selfish manipulation. Uggh!!! I want to make this person happy. I'll have to make sure I don't act with any other motive or all is lost.
I feel like Obi Wan trying to save Anakin. Obi Wan only wanted what was good for Anakin, but Anakin became deceived by the Emperor and was lost.
The situation is very complex, but I can't explain it because I am bound by honesty to keep certain portions secret.
Any advice, prayers, chocolates, etc. would be most appreciated. I don't know what to do, I only know I need to act.
"Come home brother, all is forgiven, we all cried when you were driven away. Come home brother, everything is better, everything is better when you come home and stay."
