The fat lady is warming up.... 2

First, a shout out to big_tuna. Hope you're doin' OK and that 2008 is a better year for you!

It's so quiet in the house.

I hear you! For the most part, it doesn't bother me. But sometimes, it just seems soooooo empty.

He fixed everything that was coming loose around the house. It was like old times. When he was fixing stuff, it seemed all so familiar as if he never left. It's still so hard to believe that he chose divorce.

Yep. The old habits and old memories are never too far away. The way things were...that last word changes everything.

Those two days set me back emotionally. I have to remain positive, and keep reminding myself that I am getting better and stronger each day.

I bet they did (and I can certainly understand why)!! I don't blame you for avoiding contact.

I'm glad to hear you will have the opportunity to spend some time with relatives. Happy holidays to you and I hope 2008 brings better things for you.
