Yes Donna it is something well worth striving for and something I wish everyone that's been in our situations had as a goal.
BTW, the stepping back from the current relationship appears to be helping a bit at least. She's stayed in contact and has said it's helped her focus on some of her needs, not feel pressured by our relationship and feel better about us.
On a sad note, my father got a call on Thursday night, my step grandmother, who I haven't seen in 29 years and who has rejected the family passed away that morning. I really don't have anything nice to say about her but I hope the Lord accepts her into his house. Her funeral was yesterday and I think there might have been a dozen people there. Sad in so many ways, evidently she told the minister the previous week she'd made mistakes in life and now wished she hadn't. Well hopefully she made amends with the Lord.
