A Letter to Rimon
Dear Rimon,
I think I upset you when I said breaking an ankle was not a tragedy, but a TEMPORARY SETBACK. A near tragedy was when that horrible ex-husband of yours, may he fry in hell, brought you and Baby Kay here from London and checked you into a motel and abandoned you! It could have been a great tragedy, but you overcame that and triumphed. You proved your mettle. You did what you had to do and took care of yourself and your baby and you survived! Then God sent our wonderful Howard to you and blessed you with a wonderful loving family. That became your asset. Your children are amazing, every one of them, as is that wonderful Howard. That is a definite asset. You should be proud of what you and Howard have achieved.
You are resourceful. You are artistic. You are talented and you are STRONG! You are not a person to be pitied but one to be admired. You are not a victim. Do not let anyone ever pity you, including yourself.
I remember when I was going through that ugly divorce, I was alone. I was afraid, no, I was terrified with all the things that he did to me. I stood outside by my front door, raised my head to the sky and cried, “Why me, God. Why me?” And then I answered myself. “Why not me? I have a roof over my head. I have a loving and supportive family and friends. I am not dying from some fatal disease. So why not me? This is just a temporary Set back and God is trying to strengthen me.”
So my dear and precious friend, you are going through a temporary set back.
I know that I am sometimes harsh on you, but that is because I love you.
Your friend,
Stella
