G-Woman,
Thank you for that. And it was November 9, '08.
That was the day of the bomb.

I thought, really thought today:
Did it "end" today?
Did it "end" May 13 when she asked for a divorce?
Did it "end" 12/03/08 when she moved out?

No, it began June 28, 1991 and ended November 9, 2008 with "I got an apartment."

By the way, Bob called me tonight to see how I was doing and I remembered to ask him again about his kids. Here's the update::

Matthew is a Senior at LeHigh University.
Missy is a Freshman at Miami/Ohio.

Bob Says, 'Hi," to you.

(((Hugs)))

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
