On an unrelated note, I wish I could begin to adequately convey what your presence, support, humor, caring and inspirational strength in each of your own individual sitches has meant to me these five months.
This is the only forum/chat room I've ever been on and here I have found the cream of the crop insofar as the sanctity of marriage, personal honor, valor, strength, courage, humility, decency and kindness to strangers is concerned.
God bless us all. May we all arrive at the happy endings we so desperately strive for and so truly deserve.

You are a good man. Go out and take in life. It is so weird for me right now. Food even tastes better because I slow down enough to savor every morsel.
I think you have been honorable and loving and good. That is why similar people respond to you.
I had a "friend" for a while. Mostly we went fishing, talked, or out to dinner. He stopped calling all of a sudden. I think he wasn't quite over his S. It was fine. It was just enough to show me that I could care about someone else, no matter how all this shook down.
And if you were dancing by - I might even ask you to dance.

If I read you correctly, you seem to be ready for the happy ending I was alluding to, whereas dirty ol' Bart is word playing on wanting a "happy ending".
(Unless I'm wrong in which case this would be a job for BOB)
