Thanks kat! I really do not need a puppy but that's when they drop in your lap. The puppy that adopted us last year is wonderful, and I believe that little dog brought out feelings and emotions in H again. Things he had buried but couldn't help but feel again with a puppy wiggling all over.
So we're closing down on another holiday season, another calendar year. So many years I felt it was going to be our last together, how hard H worked to break free of traditions. I moved forward, I made my plans, I celebrated without him, but I always left room for him if he chose to join me.
I spent a lot of time visiting with my best friends Time and Patience. Eventually H started inching in his way back. There is still a lot of room for improvement with us, and maybe that's my problem. H told me that 'you always want more'. Well, yeah, is that a BAD quality? hhmmm.
We still dance around some issues, and I still find it works best to plant a seed and then let it become H's idea. That's nothing new either.
I've never had a big fan base here, but for anyone that catches my thread, I hope you may get a glimmer of hope that there is a chance for you too. Every sitch is different, and make sure you don't insert too much of someone else's issues into what you are dealing with in real life.
Bring on the New Year!!!!
Live your life while you are still living. Riding the trail less traveled.
