♪ [Crying] I was happier in that moment than I have ever been... before or since.
But this life, any life, it doesn't just consist of moments, does it?
No.
It consists of years in which we face life in all its aspects, all its difficulties in our search for happiness and peace of mind.
Hmm.
My peace of mind has so many enemies.
Is it permissible to say that?
Admission is essential.
♪ I've been caring for a very vulnerable mother.
And...I see myself in her.
Her family cut her off because of the path she chose.
As have yours.
And--and I cannot reconcile myself to it.
I've caused my parents so much pain that... just like my patient caused her parents.
She wanted more.
I wanted more.
You wanted something greater.
Whatever our desires were, the end result has been the same.
Things have been lost and broken, perhaps forever.
♪ My family could not accept my calling, and they could not forgive me when I answered God.
But with his help, acceptance and forgiveness are within my gift.
Sister, am I wrong to want their blessing when I have so many others?
You may be wrong to assume that they will never give it.
Emotions sometimes take time to soften.
Write to them, invite them, and I will pray for a beneficent reply.
