I don't want to hijack this thread so a quick response. Your message is really inspiring about your family members getting back together after many years. Unfortunately my W and I have no ties other than my step-D.

What you said above is something I have been trying to do. It's really hard to visualise a life without your S when you both had such big plans together but I am trying. It has only been 3 months. I need to get back to GALing properly (I let it fall away for a while).
