Thanks for your thoughts! Yes, my journey has been a long but interesting journey! Tonight, I remembered it was my son's first year at high school when I got sick and here he is in his final year and life is so different. I miss my H but life is good in so many other ways and I have truly grown. It's been a tough way to learn but the lessons have been rich. With H I finally feel I am making progress!
I agree with what you say about humour. It certainly eases the tension and lately we have shared some funny expressions and jokes from long ago which have made us both laugh. It feels good.
