I just popped in this place a couple weeks ago for grins, and to help someone else out who resonates with me. I don't even question why, especially after a long, long time. Anyhoo...
Wow, so much growth. I remember the very painful times and this is such a joy to read for you:

I feel really good about a lot of things I'm doing. I'm enjoying things. Sometimes I'm thinking fond thoughts about P, sometimes I'm sad and missing her. Mostly the focus is on me. I'm trying to use this time wisely.
You've really found a good place, my friend. It's good to see you approach this with wisdom and grace. You're all that and more.
Out of curiousity, how is her R with her kids? Has that improved any?
Hugs and kisses to you...

p.s. I have reason to be out in your neck of the woods over the next 4 years. My D18 is heading to college in upstate NY and plans on visiting another friend who isn't terribly far from where you are. That friend's mom and I are good friends, and we're all trying to arrange times and places to rendezvous. The first stop is NYC in late October, as D18 is playing volleyball there in a tournament. You never know with me...
