Journaling: Well the first week of being seperated is coming to a close. It is easier to detach when she is not around. I was all by myself last night as wife talked daughter into staying with her last night. My oldest son went to friends and middle son was out for a while too. I'll admit it was a little lonely. This is a hard journey for LBS's. I think this will be another deep learning experience in my journey through this life. I have learned I became somewhat co-dependent on her and that will be corrected. I was not like that when we were dating or early in marriage. I cannot go completely dark since we still have connections via our kids but dim will do. I will make plans for this weekend and see where the winds of my life blow. I've learned long ago control is an illusion and the answers come if we let them. Till the next time, everybody hang in there on either side of the journey.
