rick.. you are doing an amazing job.. and being such a great role model for you sons (and also your "daughter").
i don't think your decision to move forward is far from being selfish. in fact, it think it's a gift you're giving yourself, your kids, and your wife. hopefully she'll come to see that and really discover her "truth".
definitely unchartered waters.. but FWIW, we're right there with you. i'm not sure who'll navigate yet.. maybe labug.. but i'll definitely be out there paddling!!
rick, thank you always for your kind words and support. they really do mean a lot to me. i take everything to heart.
as for where i'm from.. from a little country called VN. but, i definitely grew up canandian. when people try to figure out where i'm from they always think i'm korean or japanese. always seem surprised to find out i'm neither! there you have it. i'm a banana.
Barely - thanks for the response! Just so you know when I got your message I was in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston at a Japanese Sci-fi Anime movie. I always try to picture where people are when they get my messages.
Hope you and kids are enjoying the day. Hope you're happy today!!!! I'm heading out to western MA today with some of my kids to find a trail and hike it. There's this Quabbin Resevoir that's man-made and when they made it, it was flooded and buried five towns so there's a cool sense of mystery to it.
BTW, we could have been neighbors at one time. I came within a breathe of living in Saigon. My Dad was moving there from Korea and I was supposed to go with him. Our new home was in the Chinese section of Saigon. My Mom was moving to the US and splitting up with my Dad, and taking my younger brother. My brother begged me to come so I agreed to go as a visit and see my cousins here too. While I was here Saigon got invaded so I couldn't go there to live. My Dad ended up getting out and moving to DC. Anyway, we could have crossed paths!
I like you're banana comment! Help me out here. I'm wondering what type of fruit I would be and think it may be an avocado? Italian and Amerindian on the outside, culturally both east and west on the inside. I don't know!
BTW, love Canada but have never been to the western provinces. Spent a lot of time in Nova Scotia, and Montreal. Love both! My Mom's family was from NS - Indian, and some French blood.
I know I'm rambling here but I do enjoy talking to you.
