Oh no Sandi, these are not his children. They are mine and were considered ours by him for a while. He chose to leave us all when he left. One of the many things he said about me as if it were something bad was that I would always be stronger than he is and he is right. I've battled a rare disease and am winning. I take care of people when most people who have what I have spend their lives on disability. I think that is very intimidating to some. Especially those who can't change minor things about themselves. *shrugs* I am who I am. I am learning the parts of me that hinder me in relationships and I am working on being the best me I can be. \:\) It's all good!

"It is excruciating pain. It is the pain of separation, the pain of loss, the pain of dreams and expectations unrealized. It is the loss and death of a mirage."
