Hope

Sometimes hope feels like betrayal to Joe.

Hope is Love

Yes, that makes sense. I get why it would feel that way. Here's what *I* believe (take it or leave it) -- Joe knows you, he knows the deepest parts of you -- now more than ever. He knows your deepest soul in a way that is only possible now. This is what I believe (again, take it or leave it)... I believe that Joe knows that in the deepest truest way you'd never betray him or Luke or Alyssa in any way. I believe that he KNOWS. And given how *good* Joe is -- and how *good* he was to you while he could be -- I believe that Joe would rejoice in knowing you were genuinely hopeful. And being hopeful doesn't mean you can't be heartbroken.
Love you,

Heather said that so beautifully.

The love you received from Joe is such a beautiful gift. It will bless your life in ways you haven't even thought of yet and will continue to be a part of what makes you "you".

It might "feel" like it sometimes, but you could never betray that love. Feelings change
from day to day, minute to minute. Talk to Joe about it, one of those days when your sitting under that tree...I believe you'll find the comfort you seek.
