I came across a great quote the other day on the piecing forum from 25 and I thought this would be a good place to share it in this discussion:

It's about forgiving way more than we ever thought we could, recommitting more than we ever thought we would, choosing to love more than we ever thought we SHOULD... and growing into our best selves - b/c we were forged like steel,
forged steel is forged into one of the strongest of metals, in heat and cold. Like that metal, we are forged by the heat of hot tempers, washed in the cold "water" of a detached distanced spouse's treatment... we survive, we thrive.
