Today I continued my clean up of the house and in one of the kitchen drawers I found a stack of cards and notes that I had sent W over the past six years, going back to when we moved to this house. The one on top was from the flowers I sent her on our anniversary, about 8 weeks before she dropped the bomb. I called her my life's love and best friend. I remember writing the words and feeling them, but it's a cold memory now.
That is detachment. I dunno, but even at this stage, such a discovery may have - even now - led to a mini-meltdown for me, briefly.

This exact thing was much of my discussion with IC this week. That's a tough one for me, the never knowing part. I struggle with it. Less and less, but still. You're obviously doing better than I am on this, Awoken. Good for you.
