No Envy Can Stop Love ( A TRUE STORY)

Many years ago,  Lisa a very dear friend of mine married a popular Japanese man. They had a perfect baby boy together.  Kiamii brought them lots of joy. She was really excited about having her first child and so was he.  Her mother-in-law however was never fond of her, but her husband initially treated her very well.   Kiamii was born on his grandfather's birthday, so there was a natural bond between him and his grandparents.  However Lisa's  mother-in-law was always very rude to her.  For quite sometime Lisa remained respectful to her and this eternally made her husband's mother miserable.  Of course Mother-in-law dearest couldn't fathom how and why Lisa was able to be cordial to her though she was so insolent all the time to Lisa.  This caused a huge strain on her marriage and her husband didn't reassure her at all during this time.  It became very uncomfortable and unbearable for Lisa being married to a man who acted oblivious to his mother's behavior towards her,  his wife,  his queen.  One day Lisa found the strength and decided to leave her husband.  But if Lisa knew what was in store for her, she perhaps would have reconsidered her decision.  Kiamii was almost three years young when his father took him out of school in Jamaica.  They were going through the divorce proceedings when he kidnapped Kiamii; when he realized he would not get custody of their child, the same day Kiamii was kidnapped he was taken directly to Japan via Miami... When Lisa contacted the Jamaican Embassy, they could not do one thing to assist her.  Her child was gone and she felt helpless, how was she going to get her son back she pondered.
Lisa dug deep and found out that it was the grandmother's idea to kidnap Kiamii and that's how they got him to Japan.  Envy and possessiveness caused an innocent child to be taken miles and miles away from his mother.  Lisa shared with me openly and told me this;  "I knew Kiamii was crying constantly for me and even then Nai would not let him even SPEAK to me, he showed no mercy, no compassion, no sensitivity... Shortly after the kidnapping, I called his lawyer's home because I found out he helped him... I called and got his wife and told her that her family would suffer TEN FOLDS for what me and my son were going through..."  Nai's attorney hung himself a few months after.  He was found by his children in his office at his home. "  Sorry they had to lose their father but I guess his demons didn't allow him anymore time..."
Being very aware of the situation; one day Kiamii only nine years young at the time asked her, " why don't you like my mom grandma?"  She replied. "SHE'S BLACK!"  And she never said anything to him after that,  it was literally the end of that conversation.
Lisa was traumatized and of course devastated about the kidnapping.  She felt as if she had literally lost her life.  She searched high and low for her son, but was unsuccessful.It was one of the most if not the most challenging of her journey, but the love she had for Kiamii was so strong, it kept her going.The power of prayer and the support of friends and family made all the difference as well.
When Lisa started working as a Traveling Personal Assistant with a Jamaican born celebrity, she got the opportunity and went to Japan, where she searched Nai's home town, Nagoya... They changed the phone number so she could no longer call.Prior to doing that, Lisa would call her son and Nai and his mother would not let her speak to Kiamii. Even when her son heard her talking through the phone; he would start crying and screaming.
While Lisa was in Florida, a year after the abduction, her friend begged her to be civil before calling Nai, because every time she called him  she would end up cursing him , because he wouldn't put her son on the phone...Therefore on this particular day before dialing his number, she was begged by her friend to  humor him and to tell him whatever he wanted to hear so that she could speak to her son.  The conversation surprisingly went well for almost fifty minutes, the conversation was about the broken marriage and his music career.  She then decided to ask to speak her son and he then lost it !  He SHOUTED at her and said, " Is that the only reason you called to speak with Kiamii and not me? You would never see Kiamii again!"  Lisa's heart of course melted at the harshness of this man. What was she going to do?
Lisa confessed to me a statement I will never forget, she said; "Japanese people are heartless and cold, they are worst than robots.  They have acid running through their veins. If you approach a Japanese MAN and tell him this story, I PROMISE you, he'd have a straight face!"
It took six long years for Lisa to find her beloved Kiamii.  Her heart was renewed and the nightmare finally came to an end.  Her x husband was in tears and was extremely apologetic about all the trauma and drama that transpired . Lisa years later have no regrets that she left him.   Her divorce came to close in 2004.  He stretched out the process as long as he possibly could, when all Lisa wanted from him was her first born, her prince, beloved Kiamii!   Today Lisa and Kiamii have the most glorious relationship a mother and son could ever dream of.  They actually look a lot like brother and sister.  Love  proved itself to be a conqueror as it always does.  Love will make you do things and endure the unthinkable and the unbearable.  Love is the ultimate power mankind seeks. When in fact there's nothing to seek, for whatever thou art seeketh is already in you. There's no room for envy in the house of divine love.   No amount of envy can stop LOVE.  Will humanity ever grasp this reality?
