Final Decision
Waking up in the morning, Theresa checks on the children, and then proceeds to go outside for a run. As she runs, thoughts run through her head.
What if Ethan ever hurts me again, can I survive it?
What about my children? How can I be sure that they won't be affected in any way by my choice?
Do I still love Ethan the way I always have?
Stopping short, Theresa sighs as that question plagues her mind. "I do love Ethan. My love for him has grown stronger from the first time I said I loved him. We've had so much heartache, and yet, I feel like a window is opening for me now. A new day is beginning. Maybe it's really the right time for Ethan and I to be together. Maybe I finally need to stand up for myself and say what I feel, and not hide from anything."
Confident with her decision, Theresa begins to walk back to her house, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders.
"Above anything else, my children will be first in my life. I will never let any man come before them. They are my world." Smiling at the thought of her children, Theresa sends a silent prayer of thanks to the sky above.
Hearing her cell phone ring, Theresa answers. "Hello?"
"Mi hija, Ethan called here looking for you."
"Oh? What did he want?"
"He wanted to know if you made your choice. Have you?"
"I think I have, mama."
"Well, mija, I hope you're going to make the right choice. Trust in your heart, Theresita, it will guide you."
"Thank you, mama."
Closing her phone, Theresa smiles. Please, God, let me find the happiness I have longed for….
