All of the time, in all things, these are our only two options.
Let's face it, option one is out. If we've learned anything in life, we (like Forrest Gump) have learned there is nowhere to run. All manner of heartache lies out there the same as here.
Which only leaves one option.
Stay the course. Stay married, stay involved, stay true, stay soft, stay humble, stay hopeful, stay strong.
Because one day we will get tapped out of this fight. The Champion will re-enter the ring and we won't have to hold the line any longer. Until then, we've been asked to stay. And like Samwise Gamgee would say, I intend to.
