That's funny what you said about Thanksgiving. Canadian Thanksgiving was one month after ex left. I was in SHOCK! My BF lived in British Columbia - a mere 5 hour plane ride away. She invited me to come visit and I went. I was NOT good company. I cried all the time. But she cooked for me and took me shopping and talked me through it - I was there for 10 days! And then came Thanksgiving! Her kids came for dinner. I cried through the entire dinner (anyone want me for a dinner guest?)> I'm not sure what her son thought (he didn't live there at the time) - I was still in total disbelief and would not tell anyone that Chuck had left me!
Funny thing, though, it was during one of those shopping trips that I found Divorce Remedy and it gave me a new focus - saving my marriage! I was not going to sit back and admit it was over. I was going to turn things around. (well, it seemed like a good idea at the time).
So my BF also encouraged me and read through the book with me.
That's what friends are for. "In good times, in bad times, I'll be at your side forever more. That's what friends are for". "Keep smilin', keep shinin', knowin' you can always count on me, for sure - that's what friends are for".
Have you noticed how many threads have broken out in song these days - LOL!
