The offical part still throws me too BBJ. Even telling people is a bit surreal. I'm told that goes away in time.
But, my sweet sis, your story isn't over. Not by a long shot. I know Dan has a very long way to go to fix the stuff wrong with him and I'm his biggest critic (a common friend used to pick on me about that), but I do know he still loves you. I am sure of that. But, he is broken. And only he can fix what's broken.
BBJ, just so you know, tomorrow when I'm considering the things I'm thankful for... your friendship is high on that list.
