Bill and Kalni...we posted nearly at the same time.

I posted to Kalni the other day that perhaps it was better for me not to comment right now. I seem to misinterpret what I am reading and, it's probably best for her to follow what others are posting right now rather than what I have to say.

As usual, Bill, you have a wonderful way of expressing what is on your mind. We have known each other now for a long time, electronic and by voice. I recall all the pain you were in. I recall the story of the vines in your backyard. Yet...I also know the rebirth that occurred for you and the good fortune of finding Deb.

My son will be crushed by this initially. My daughter is tough and, G-d bless her, I think she will weather this fine. I left at 6AM..kissed both of them on the forehead. My son woke briefly and said "I love you dad." He has his first baseball practice today.

It's all about them now. I will not miss STBXW. She's done her work well. Reality is setting in and I will miss my kids terribly. I may need to be alone to ponder this. I know that, thru this all, I've been able to compartmentalize this..to be able to get the divorce work done...to focus on patients and operating...to be strong for them. But, now, I guess, the jack-in-the-box door has flipped open and the evil figure has popped out to take my kids from me. I am flooded with feelings of loss for my kids.
