Grafted

She took the utmost pride in her work and gave meticulous attention to detail not to mention she was a very caring person. All of these attributes were precisely the reason why she was the favorite unit clerk among all doctors on the cardiac floor of the local hospital. Along with a good job, Blair had a loving husband and four precious children. She confessed belief in God and Jesus Christ and continually admitted being blessed. Yet there seemed to be something missing-something that was keeping her from being truly content.

Blair had a very troubled childhood and could not count on her mother to be the role model she needed. The only love and security she had ever known as a child came from her stepfather who had died just a couple of years ago. While dealing with her grief she would always verbally acknowledge blessings in her life but then would finish by expressing the frustration she experienced either with work, kids, her husband or all of the above! This behavior started becoming routine and the frustration began to intensify with much of it stemming from petty grievances toward her husband. Socks on the floor, clothes folded ‘incorrectly’ and crumbs left on the kitchen counter were offenses that were so disturbing to her that their marriage was in jeopardy. A pleasant weekend would bring hope of reconciliation only to be followed by the frustrations of daily life.
