All true, and I never tire of hearing it. It does sink in, but then I backslide. Thanks for your reply.
It came as quite a shock to me last month around his birthday that it's been 8 years since I found about the OW because it just doesn't seem that long to me because in between I've also gone through my younger brother's long illness and passing, jobhunting, adjusting to being in the real work force after 20 years out of it, moving, pet death, aging parents and more---and I am still without him which is all I ever wanted.
But I am such a better person for it all(yadda, yadda, yadda insert cliche here, but it's true.)It is his loss!Thanks for the words of encouragement.
