My husband Jim had left for work, giving me a secret smile and a quick kiss before flying out the door, as he did every day. I had just put on my morning pot of coffee, when the doorbell rang.
A bedraggled girl of maybe 18 at most was standing in my doorway.
"I....I need to talk to you....its Millie isn't it?"
"Who are you?" I asked.
She fidgeted, biting her lip and looked around. I looked out behind her, thinking that perhaps some kind of foul play was afoot, but there was no one else in sight.
She shuffled her feet nervously.
"It's about...... your husband Jim...can I please come in?"
Sometimes a woman just knows things and in that moment I knew that my whole world was about to change. I invited her in without another word being spoken.
She sat at my table and explained that she had met Jim several months ago at one of the construction sites he worked on. They had been having an affair ever since and now she was pregnant. It was a cut and dried story.
She had blurted it out quickly and in not so many words. Before I could ask her what she wanted, she got up and came to stand in front of me. I was clutching the kitchen chair, my knuckles white as I looked down at them.
"The man in love with you....he doesn’t love me. I was just a passing fancy to him. He told me about you,... right up front, about how much he loves you, even before we........"
She stopped and put her arm around me. I was crying hysterically but hadn't even realized it!
I composed myself, with great effort. She went on.
“I know you can't have children, Jim told me. I'd like to have this baby and give it to you and Jim...no strings attached, and I don't want nothin’ from you or him either"
My mind was racing! She kept talking.
"I see what you’re thinking but you'll get over it. He was lonely….”
Her voice trailed off. She waited a moment…I still said nothing.
She went on. “Before I came here my worst fear was how you would react. I can see now that you are all the woman he said you were and I also see that you love him.”
I looked away..tears still brimming in my eyes. As if she could read my mind, she continued. “He aint the leavin’ kind….as young as I am, even I know that”
She gave me a hug and before I could do or say anything, she was walking towards the door.
“I’ll give you a chance to think about what I’ve said and……about Jim and me…that’s over”. Without another word she was out the door and gone.
My mind was awhirl, I felt betrayed and humiliated but what hurt the most was knowing that Jim could have this other life and still be able to act like the loving husband. I felt like I had to DO something fast, anything! I poured myself a cup of coffee and turned over a little hourglass I had sitting on the counter.
“When the sand runs out, I’ll decide what to do” I laughed out loud at my own stupidity as the sand trickled down.
Like I was going to actually decide my future in 3 minutes!
The only thing I could think of to do at that moment was pray. I dropped down on my knees, right at my kitchen table and begged the Lord to help me remember my wedding vows…and to make the right choice…......May God bless the broken road ahead for all of us........

[What hurts the most] about [the man in love with you] is when he walks right out the door and leaves you standing there alone.
I should have paid more attention to the signs but I never suspected it would have to come to this. I had always thought, [he ain't the leavin' kind] Now that I think about it and all the times he sent out disguised body signals to wink flirtatiously at her, with his [secret smile ]should have led me to believe that he was having an affair. I was just too blinded by infatuation to see it and now it's just too late.
[When the sand runs out] of the hour glass this time, I can't turn it over and start over again. [My worst fear] has come to pass and I must now find the strength to carry on. Some how.
May [God bless the broken road] i will travel before me and [help me to remember] next time, not to be such a fool

What hurts the most is when the sand runs out the man in love with you has this secret smile between just you and him.
He aint' the leavin kind, which is good, because he should never leave the one he loves, but my worst fear is that I will not remember him-- and I ask the Lord to Help me Remember, for God does bless the broken Road~

Then, She went to her boyfriend and asked him but, he said "hold on im watching my fave show naruto." She heard the guy on the T.V say "what hurts the most is when the sand runs out of gaaras thing on his back he has no defence. So Naruto is helping him no matter what. Remember he aint the leavin kind.
Finnaly when the show is over he tells her what the secret smile is. And the girl said "Wow... God bless the broken road!!"
(the secret smile is a road that had been destroyed by evil people and almost everyone swore they would never speak of it again)
THE END!!!

Help me remember when I'm with my man that he ain't the leavin' kind.My worst fear is his secret smile. Is it like that with the man in love with you? I am so afraid when the sand runs out he'll be gone. What hurts the most is I will still have to see him everyday at work. How will I ever be able to forget him? I may just have to pick up and leave But the road looks so long and dangerous. God bless the broken road and me too.

When the Sand Runs Out
There was a man who built his house on the sand. The rains poured. The wind blew. Down came the house.
He learned something by this. The next house was built on a rock. Nothing could topple it.
Whatever you do in life, make sure you choose wisely and according to God's will. Then it will withstand the storms of life.

My Uncle Raymond always said, (8)"God Bless The Broken Road!" in greeting. According to him the broken road epitomised life and the everyday challenges, and these challenges brought experience, wisdom and maturity. I knew what he meant. The road of life is long, winding, full of sharp bends, twists and turns.
(3)My worst fear when I met Jack Moore was that he was too good to be true. He was tall, with the physique of an athlete and extremely good looking. I could spend all day just staring at him and be fulfilled. But he assured me constantly that he had come to stay. I was still scared and scarred from my past love-life experiences. What of (6)When The Sand Runs Out? When he no longer looked at me with those blue eyes that were full of love and attention? (7)What Hurts The Most in a failed relationship, I think, is the thought of what might have been, If only it had worked out like the fairy tale stories.
(2)"He aint The Leavin' Kind," Nancy, my elder sister tried to tell me. "I can tell those from a mile away." She said this with an emphatic shake of her head and a sweet smile. It was not a (4)Secret Smile. She was married to one of the best men I knew. He doted on her and they always seem to have eyes just for each other even after fourteen years.
"Hey! Wake up girl!" came the baritone voice of the man in question as he came into the house with long strides. I had drifted off into some sort of day dream while Nancy was still talking. He wore a blue open collar shirt with black jeans. It was not the outfit really that made him appear so gorgeous and yummy! He looked good whatever he wore.
(5)"The man in love with you is here!" he said to me as he drew me up into his arms.
(1)"Help Me Remember this man please. Who is he again?" I said in a sultry voice.
I liked the sound and timbre of his voice and the feel of his arms as he held me closely to himself. I moulded myself to the contours of his body and snuggled against him. Maybe everything would be okay and we will live happily ever after. I will keep you posted on that.

Dodge City, Kansas
Circa 1873
" The Broken Road"
Matt was sitting by the beautiful lake on Sunshine's farm.
http://www.wg32.net/~willy/Scenic/Smaller/Alta_Lake_wildflowers.jpg
Lost in thought, he didn't hear her walk up to him.
"OH! Sunny.....Sit with me, darlin'." She smiled and sat on the soft grass. The only sound was that of the water lapping to the shore, and a song of an occasional bird.
Another woman may have been worried by the silence....Insecure, fretting whether or not the lack of communication was a sign of trouble.
Sunshine knew that even in these quiet times, they were still communicating. This was one of the many things that Matt appreciated about her. He watched as a Canada Goose landed on the water " I like seeing that old bird.(2) He Ain't The Leavin' Kind.......Neither am I." Sunshine smiled. She loved the way Matt expressed his love.
"Wanna know a (4) Secret? Smile if you will......But I DO have a secret." Matt nuzzled her neck.
"Secret??? I thought all our cards were on the table, you little imp." He hugged her. "Okay. Okay. What's your secret, baby?"
Sunshine turned and faced him......" Sometimes I wonder if I'm just dreaming. (3) My Worst Fear is that I'll wake up and you'll be gone. You know.......I was traveling a broken road before you came into my life."
Matt touched her face....."(8) God Bless The Broken Road that brought you straight to me."
They sat for a long time, sharing thoughts, exchanging hugs.
"(1) Help Me Remember WHY we took so long to get together."said Sunshine.
"Because I thought YOU were in a relationship with that fellow on the stagecoach. " Matt pitched a stone into the water as he spoke. "(7) What Hurts The Most is that we lost all that time .....We could have been together sooner."
"And I thought you were in love with Kitty. I remember how I ached every time I saw you two together." replied Sunshine.
"(5) The Man In Love With You was never in love with Kitty.
Never. We shared a strong friendship." He saw the way Sunshine looked at him. "Okay.....Yes. We shared a bed once in a while."
Sunshine got up and walked to the water's edge.
"Listen, Sunny.....(6) When The Sand Runs Out, I want to be with you......Only you."
Sunshine held him tightly and sighed........"Every long lost dream led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars...... Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true......That God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you."
