Dear Frank,

I owe you an apology. I've been thinking about my last couple of posts to you, and I realize that although I was trying to help, I forgot about where you are on this journey. I was writing from my own perspective, as someone who has been physically separated for just over 3 years, and officially divorced for a couple of weeks. {Merry Christmas! :p }

The emotional distancing on XH's part began well before that, but my own emotional distance was much more recent. I didn't take this into account, and consequently, my compassion was quite lacking.

I really do hope that 2009 will be better for you. I'd say "It can only get better," but from my own experience, you never know. So I'll just say that I continue to think of you, pray for you, and admire you. Not because your perfect, but because you do your best - and your best is pretty darn good!

Love to you and your kids,
Nicola
