Just some thoughts on the year that was! When I look back at what this year has brought I'm pretty amazed at my stamina. In November 2006 my Dad got sick and it wasn't until late January that he was diagnosed with Cancer. After the operation he was hospitalized three more times for abcesses that kept recurring. I will never forget rushing to the hospital to visit my Dad in emerg when my W called my cell saying "you should stay at your mom's tonight as I will be sleeping out" Can you imagine! It took all my strength NOT to call back as say "when I get home, you better be gone!" Yup, it was an incredibly difficult time. In June I told W that the party was over unless she dumped OP and committed to our R, so the party ended! I watched my W go away with OP for 10 days in July and went through the turmoil of that pain. I then went through 4.5 months of "separating" and dealing with the lawyers etc. And to top it off, just when I separated my Coffee Buddy, who had been a support to me through this, bailed on me too. And now, Christmas is upon us, another stressful time. Wow, what a f@cking horrible year it has been! Now, on the plus side I still have two amazing kids, a family that supports me, a W who at least wants a positive R, a wonderful apartment, a nice big bank account balance, friends that are there for me, activities to keep me busy, and a father who is on his last rounds of Chemo (and doing great!). It's been one hell of a rollercoaster ride, 2008 should be a breeze
