True, you will have other emotions. That's ok. Let them wash over you.

You have handled this in the way that you wanted - and with dignity and grace.

No one knows what the future holds. But yours will be lived without regret.

I still am not sure what you wanted the result to be. I hope that you are at peace.

T, I know a thing or two about protecting myself. Put up a nice wall around me my whole life. I know about wanting to protect the peace I have worked so hard for. I know about fearing going through what I went through during this time ever again.,

I wish I could tell you that the wall is completely down. It is not. I wish I could tell you that the fear is gone coompletely. It is not.

What I can tell you is that I have promised myself that I will try to never make decisions based on that fear or trying to protect that peace.

Here's why. If I do, then what did I learn? What have I gained?

I'm not saying not to be cautious. That would be dumb. I am saying that sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet and know without a doubt, that you wil be ok.

You will be ok, True. I have no doubt about it.
