Letting Go & Moving Forward

[littleGTO]

Thanks, bustin'. I need the support.

Today I went to visit my SIL (1:15 hr away) and my FIL came over too (he lives 5 min from SIL). It was a great visit overall. My SIL is in chemo & she is an amazing source of strength for the family.

After FIL left she & I talked about current situation. I know her viewpoint (it's time for things to move forward) but I told her I was still standing and would not be helping the process move, as I didn't want my M to end.

She is angry at her brother/my H and thinks he's just been quite irrational and selfish for a while now & doesn't see the fog lifting.

It was a beautiful day & we sat outside for some time talking. I don't know if it was the sunshine or finally being warm enough to sit outside but I felt GOOD today. STRONG. Like I can do this (whatever this is)!

I also called my mom on the ride home & we talked. My mom & I have never been close (she lives half way across the country- yes, jp--in your area-ish) but since I finally opened up to them in October my parents have been nothing but supportive of me.

And they are not pushing for me to do anything-just offering support and listening and love. Just what I need! Amazing that connections can still be made that have never really been there at this point in my life!

Can't wait to meet w a new friend tomorrow (GAL) for a walk & talk and maybe some tennis!!!!!!
