Okay... Your D likes the Beatles, so there's that... At least we all know now that she's got a good base to live the rest of her life on!
And Arsene... We all feel your pain here. And I don't think there's a one of us who wouldn't take it all away from you in a moment if we could.
But maybe that wouldn't be right... As I'm beginning to realize... It's these moments of pure, raw, and sometimes ultra-painful emotions that separate us from the rest...
The fight that you're fighting is a rare one... So So many people in your (our) situation would have given up long ago... thrown in the towel and decided to just count our losses...
And maybe one day we'll be there... Or maybe we won't...
But no matter WHAT happens... You'll be able to look back at this period of your life and KNOW, with 100% certainty, that you gave it everything you had.
And my favorite part about all this... Is that you D will see that too... She'll see the man that you're becoming. She'll be basing HER future relationships on the example that YOU'RE setting TODAY... She'll be seeking out the strength that you're showing... the resolve that you're giving... and the love that you're willing to give against all odds...
And if NOTHING else comes of the hard work you're doing... Just remember how amazing an example you're setting for your D here.
So stay strong for her.
But don't worry about the occasional total F-ing meltdowns that you may have... as we ALL go through them.
I KNOW that you'll come out the other end as a better man.
