I'm hoping you enjoyed yourself and got some quiet *Eric* time in. You deserve a break.
There is one thing that has stuck with me about your W, something you wrote about her trying to find herself. To find what's really hers because up until now she's felt that nothing has truly been hers (and I do understand that, I do).
In trying to find herself & something that she can call her own, she's losing out on the few things that will ever truly be hers...her husband, and her children. HER family. I don't think she's thought of that quite yet. And excuse me if I'm a little late with stating the obvious (that's me, Captain Obvious lol).
Even if this goes all the way to signing, I think this is far from over. It might take awhile, like you said, and you may have already moved on--but I don't know man...
Still, I think you are doing a great job on letting go & GAL. You have handled these latest developments better than I could have.
Stay strong.
