You state "I understand the journey that lies ahead. I am scared but prepared" I didn't have a clue and was totally UN-prepared
There was never an OM
Neither of us left the house
We were married 26 years
I think you might gain by reading our journey. I would submit that you don't understand what lies ahead...particularly if you take your eyes off of your W and focus on God. He will direct your path....AND take care of your W. The day after the bomb a friend of mine told me "Enjoy this time! God is doing a work in you!" I almost punched him out....but, I get it now...finally! You sound like you are starting off in a FAR better place than I did but I want you to know that the destination is worth the journey! I will pray for you, your W, and your friends!
