Christopher, my darling,
We've had some ups and downs lately and we've both questioned our love for each other, which has been heartbreaking for me.
Last night you had some very big feelings, big outbursts.
I dug out my book of healing stories for challenging behaviour and tried to read from it for you, but you said the story was boring...
So I decided to turn my pain into a story to see if it could be more healing for me and more meaningful for you. This story came to me this morning as I woke...
There was a little girl called Mimi. She was about 5 years old. Mimi had lots of joys in her life like singing, dancing and animals, but one thing made her heart a bit sad. She didn't think her parents loved her. This made her feel quite alone and made an invisible web grow around her body to stop any more hurt getting through.
The years went by and Mimi grew into an adult and she had a child of her own, Kiki. As he started to grow into a little boy, around the same age as Mimi had been, he started to have the same feelings. He didn't realise, that when he was born, a tiny thread of the web had wrapped itself around his little body and grew with him as he grew older.
One day as Mother and child walked by the flowing river on one of their evening walks they spotted the brightest star. They asked this star to help them take these webs off as they felt like they didn't need them anymore.
That night as they slept the Brightest Star sent down tiny specs of its light to unravel the webs and take them back to the star. The webs, reaching the star just melted away into pure love.
The next morning Mimi and Kiki woke up filled with a new feeling of love and freedom and felt so grateful in their hearts as they flew down the banks of the river in the early morning light, enjoying their new found feet.
They never forgot to thank the Star for the gift it had given them.
