From the Author: Who among you have never had your heart broken? There may be a few, but most have experienced this multiple times. Most times, there’s an indication that it’s about to happen. And sometimes, you put everything you have into a relationship, you have no clue that you’re being set up for heartache, and suddenly—it just ends. There are no words to describe how you feel when this happens.

You may wonder why I’d write a story about such heartache and (try to) make it funny. I’m wondering the same thing. I was feeling sad for a friend who had experienced this type of unexpected misery for the second time. I prayed in earnest for her because I knew firsthand what she was going through. God said write it. So, I did. I was beyond surprised by the story that started pouring out on the computer screen.

I think the reason He had me write it this way is because when you’re sad, you want to read something uplifting. Don’t you? I know I do. Forgiving the one who hurt you is just one step in the healing process. Beneath the lightheartedness of this story, I hope this message of forgiveness still shines through.
