Trytry, I just love the fact that you are finding things to be grateful for despite your painful circumstances! My aunt has a saying in our household - what you focus on will grow (this is a DB philosophy too)and so when you can recognize the small gifts you have been given (ie: not having to fight to see children out of state) it gives you the freedom to grow.

I have found in my personal life that wisdom is mined in the dark places of life. If you keep your eyes open during these difficult times to what you can learn and grow personally, then no matter what happens with your husband, you will be richer in the next season of life. Bravo on your GAL endeavors. Keep up the good work!
