I've been wondering when you'd stop by with a progress report, and I did expect one. TJ has been setting a pace that is safe for him, and you've been patiently letting him. Now you're both enjoying the rewards of your efforts, at a safe rhythm. His MLC had its own time zone, and timeline. There was no way for either of you to rush it, and you both have more work to do. But this will be the work you wanted to tackle and you are ready.
I believe the growth will continue and that in time you'll both reflect on the past few years without as much of the pain or hurt that is the world of MLC. Grace and forgiveness will bring you great reward, and lead to a beautiful life.
Couln't be happier for either of you, although TJ took our pole dancer from us. He's a lucky man and I hope he continues to earn your heart. If you don't stop by so much we'll know why and continue to cheer for you and TJ. Warmest wishes ... me.
