(No title. You've seen it before.)

In a long answer to an email I sent Mrs. Ray this morning, she closes with this comment:

I wish you no harm: I just cannot stay married to you. It is simply too emotionally draining and frustrating.

Yes, there's lots more, and I don't want to bring all these details out here. But, needless to say, I feel sad.

I wish I could end it here. I can't. Something within me tells me to continue working and praying. I really feel I have no hope. But I have faith in what God can do, and and love for Mrs. Ray.

It is a weird feeling. I love her, but I also see no hope.

I made promises before God to Mrs. Ray. I do consider them some of the most important promises anyone can make. It won't be easy for me to withdraw these promises, even though Mrs. Ray seems to have done so.
