Fire's burning out...just smoldering

[blindsided1]

That is my goal. I don't believe in sugar coating, either. But, I don't want to seem vidictive or bitter. By the time she's old enough, I know I will be way past it and not even really care much. But, I don't think the hurt will ever really go away, just diminish enough to put it where it needs to be...in the past. I know I can do this. I just worry. I suppose that's part of being a Mom.
