Things are going well. Living a pretty quiet life. Staying (for the most part) out of trouble with work, taking classes and spending my time with my sons. They are now are 12 and 14. 14 is 2 inches taller than me. 12 will be there before too long. They are great fellows.
Thank you so much for that inspiring post. I am in a place now where I about half-way believe in a happier future, and it helps so much to read other's experience of that. I so hope I have the charity to behave toward H and OW the way you do, if I end up in a similar situation. Right now, I don't feel so sure that I will. But I don't have to face that today.
Anyway, thanks again for posting such a hopeful message.
