Delicate realtionships are just that-delicate. Whether they are between husband and wife who are going through rough times and their continuing future is dicey, or whether between parent and child never allowed to fully bond.
If that delicate china plate is broken, many pieces can be seamlessly repaired, but there will no doubt be bits of various sizes that will never be found or able to be replaced.
Some of the members of these broken relationships will choose to toss the broken, imperfect object away--to the heartbreak of those who wish to keep it regardless of its condition.
Those tossing it away think it can be replaced or life will go on just fine without it--until life brings a situation to their door that calls for something precious from the past--one thing of beauty that connects them to all of history--and they no longer possess it.
Those who hold it, will continually be reminded of the pain that it represents. But, they will have time to come to terms with it and something to show for a life of pain.
