I just wanted to point out how much courage it takes to be here to begin with.

It takes courage to share the very private and intimate parts of your life.

It takes courage to want to grow because that is hard work.

PEI you did not have to come here and tell us that you had decided this.

BUT

You did.

You knew we would challenge every aspect of this.

And THAT took courage.

There have been some excellent thoughts put out here...

My general observation that comes from my own experience is that I have come through an amazing transformation during this process.

I have become a whole new person from a month ago...capable of much better and greater things I never thought possible.

What that means for my M remains to be seen but I know it will not look the same as it did.

I am not the same person...

And I know that if there is a R with my W then it will look completely different than our M has been.

So

What happens in a relationship when people grow and are allowed to be themselves, without our control, expectations and fear?

I don't know because I haven't been there...

All I know is what was possible inside me.

And I see that hope play out on these boards every day.

If that same power is let to flourish in a M than anything is possible...

THAT I know as sure as I breath.

My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
