I reached a healthy place in which I was able to stop projecting my needs on another human being. We both came to understand that each of us is limited in our capacity to be for another what is needed, and learned to forgive each other for not being God. In this way, Nathan and I were free to be true friends and brothers. The restoration was God’s sign to me to claim my own belovedness and come home. I learned that people can be signs and helpful companions, but only God can guide and fully heal the wounded places in each of us.
