True, some would say I am quite a character. Not a word, Mach! LOL!
My friend, I am humbled by your words. Really and truly. If I have helped in any way, I am glad.
You have shown such strength and integrity. And to let it play out here so that others can get something from it, shown just how special you are.
I know that you got this. You are right where you should be.
At the beginning, we are looking at the backs of our spouses. Trying to keep up. Trying to figure it out. Then, as we go on, we are next to them, hammering it out and working through it. And finally, we are looking over our shoulders, trying to let them go, but, checking a couple of times, til we are ready.
That last bit is so very hard. Severing the last, tiny thread that binds us to them.
But, when you drop it for real, there is a bit of angst, then a calm.
Then you can begin to look forward, no longer looking back at them.
And if,in the future, it is meant to be, there is always the possibility.
You are right where you need to be, T. And it will be ok.
Miss you, too, Fish. Nice to see you hear. Be talking to you soon, I hope.
