I'm not too sure that I was ever THAT interested until this happened.
Now my eyes are WIDE open to things I missed three years ago. Looking back though, all the signs were in place then, I just wasn't cognizant enough to recognize them.
I actually took the time one day to reflect on the signs that I missed leading into this thing that she is facing. Things I missed and should have noticed.
Then it occured to me that I DID notice them, they just didn't have the meaning that they do now.
That's how I know how much different I am now compared to then.
