Thanks for the reminder about patience - I definitely need to keep hearing it from all of you. And you are right about the crystal ball. Sometimes it SEEMS like it would be easier to know, but probably not. I know had I had one when I was dating my H to see this far ahead, would I have ever married him? I would have missed out on our happy years, my kids . . .
I do want all this to be over, but I do recognize he still has a lot of work he needs to do to grow up.
I don't listen to country music, but I do remember a Garth Brooks song (The Dance) from years ago and the lyrics keep going through my head:
"And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance "
