ahhh Mike. i'm sending virtual strength over to ya.
i really dont know what you must be feeling right now. I'll learn it when my day comes. but from our outside perspective you're doing great and you're a very strong individual. we all have so much respect for you, and appreciation for how much you've freely given each of us.
your words have helped me more than you can imagine. your 'prodding' has led me to think about things i never would have gotten to on my own.
thanks, and best of everything in these coming days.

I'm good buddy..I'm still positive as I can be for the things I'm going through..
I'm working today. I'm untangling some things Kim and I were tangled in..car insurance and things like that..
I still have moments where a tear comes in my eye..but I've been preparing for this for months..it was not unexpected.
I'd be lying if I said I did not wish that there would have been some "moment of lasting clarity" which would have engulfed Kim just before the judge lowered the gavel..I mean you read about it here occasionally...that's "fairy tale' stuff that does not happen much..
Kim's pride kept this going to it's finality..
I'm still around..I can't leave these sorry messes here to fend for themselves..they will whine and cry that they miss me
and Ken..I'm feeling all that a normal person would feel..the full range of emotions..sad, happy,excited, melancholy, blessed, introspective..you name it, I feel it and am embracing them all..
Mike -Sounding as I imagine it will be for me sir. Think we all deep down hope they have that final minute moment of clarity but the reality, as you know, is that is highly unlikely.
You sound like your doing fine considering bruv and do hang around as I'll need you when it's my time I'm sure.
You are certainly an enlightened man! You should teach classes or something for all the DAM's out there.
I would love the recipe for the blackberry cake please! I'm not a great baker, fantastic cook, but baking is not my forte. I'm working on it. Gotta be the whole package at something!

ah yes, pride. the killer of opportunity. i believe its that same pride that doomed any chance of my STBX working to save our R. same pride that prevented her from admitting any fault in our difficulties.
there is so much to feel. and thats something that i've been missing for so long that i didnt even know i was missing it. sure, i felt boredom, some murky depression, but the sharp feelings of pain, the surprise of happiness, the fun shock of catching a beautful womens eye - those i feel now. and even though it hurts, i'll take it. the good outweighs the bad on most days.
and no matter what, i now know that the bad will be followed by the good. so even during the bads, i have something to look forward to.

I didn't get a good chance to post yesterday, Santa Mom was in the house overnight. But I wanted to say that I'm glad you can move on now. I read here all the time as I know this is where I'm headed; but you're strong and you're a great father for Caleigh.
