FY, exactly where in the Hallmark section should we be looking for the BD card?
They have a section in back called “Here’s what’s left of my heart… it’s all yours”. Any card from this section comes with a free box of Kleenex and a list of local counselors… it’s actually pretty nice!

Thank you both for the kind words. I’m doing the best I can, and sometimes feel like I’m stumbling through all this like I’m sure most everyone else does. It’s not an easy road to travel, that’s for sure! But then neither is D, so here we stand. The best thing we can do is help each other, I figure. We’re all in a different place, yet on the same path.

I know, right? Early on in our sitch my W would walk in the room and sit down and hit ‘play’ to this one:
"And it feels like I am just too close to love you, There's nothing I can really say. I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more, Got to be true to myself. And it feels like I am just too close to love you, So I'll be on my way."
There’s more hurtful words, (along with an ominous organ riff in the background, lol) but you get the idea. I really hated that one yet had to pretend it didn't bother me. Thankfully she stopped listening to it. Then there was “You got to go where your heart says go” and “How’s it gonna be, when you don’t know me”. At least I found these last two musically acceptable to listen to, even if the message hurt.
So yeah, just listening to her recent play list there's been some progress. Keep on Bustin' everyone!
