Choc!
Wow lots going on in your life, eh.

I'm glad to see this finally hitting the fan. Now you will actually get some results. It looks as though the two of you have spent the last 20 odd years alienated from each other with you withdrawing and ignoring her to punish her and her having A's of one kind or another. This is your history but it can be eliminated and you can change its course. Good on ya for taking those first steps.

I agree with the gal who said you are sounding incredibly hot these days. You are appearing strong and fighter-like. Keep it up and don't forget to make yourself look as attractive as you can, if for no other reason than to remind her that you aint chopped liver.

I'm pulling for you friend and will try to stop in from time to time to cheer you on! I know you are scared to death but this sure looks like the first promising thing to happen to your sitch in the time I've known you. It's REAL and that was so lacking in your life before this. Hang in there and tell yourself how damned confident you are every day in the mirror so that you don't forget. \:\)

Hugs,
